Hi Toyo,

This is not for sending unsolicited email - it is a case from 2005 against the company selling the data and under the Data Protection Act. I've also bought lists from Media Logisitcs, they one of the main list suppliers in the UK, but not usually the mailer of the data.

I often get unsubscribe requests where the recipient demands to know where we got their details. My database admin code gives me all sources for any email we have in the system in a cut and paste format that I send to the complainant - they can then follow up whoever sold the data, whatever publication or website they appear in.

Main thing is by unsubscribing them I comply with ICO guidelines and by providing them with both the source and the details of the data I hold on them - I comply with the Data Protection Act.

If the data came from Media Logisitics, and they then choose to ignore a valid request, then that is their problem but not mine

Mailing comes under the Information Commissioner's Office and they have told us on numerous occasions, when we respond to complaints through their office, that we are implementing "good practise"

Cheers

Ronin
