I have now received three unsolicited emails from Melbourne IT.

A copy of the email can be found here: http://joshrowe.com/melbit.html

Has anyone else received it?

The three emails were addressed to:

1. an email address which only appears in the "whois.aunic.net" database 
2. an email address which only appears in the "whois.inww.com" database
3. an email address which only appears in "whois.inww.com" &
"whois.aunic.net" databases

I was unable to find a email/privacy policy on either the Melbourne IT or
INWW web sites.

Opt-out doesn't work either - http://www.caube.org.au/optout.htm
