==What is SPAM==
 +
In the context of South African law, spam is defined in the ECT Act of 2002 as:
 +
45. (1) Any person who sends unsolicited commercial communications to consumers, must provide the consumer—
 +
(a) with the option to cancel his or her subscription to the mailing list of that person; and
 +
(b) with the identifying particulars of the source from which that person obtained the consumer’s personal information, on request of the consumer.
 +
 
 +
AND:
 +
4) Any person who sends unsolicited commercial communications to a person who has advised the sender that such communications are unwelcome, is guilty of an offence and liable, on conviction, to the penalties prescribed in section 89(1).
 +
 
 +
See the full text of the ECT Act at [[http://www.internet.org.za/ect_act.html Internet.org.za]]

 +
==How to catch a spammer==
 +
If you receive an unsolicited commercial message that you see is from South Africa (i.e. it uses a .za domain name and/or quotes local contact details or pricing) you should consider two things. Did the sender obtain your email address from a public place, and will the sender be able to unsubscribe you from any future mailings.
 +
 
 +
The best way to find out these two things is ask. They should be able to tell you where they obtained your email address, and immediately stop any further email. If they cannot complete both tasks then the message is spam.  Have a look at [[a standard response]] message that you could send to a spammer.
 +
 
 +
Learn about [[how to identify]] [[the email headers]]. These will often tell you who the ISP is of the spammer, but are also essential in gathering evidence to include in the next step.
 +
 
 +
If you want maximum effect you should copy the ISP in your initial letters of response. Alternatively the response to your email as well as your ability to unsubscribe all weigh in the decision to determine your message/s it as spam.
 +
 
 +
You will need to print all the evidence and include it with your report to the police
