Yes, I'd been wondering about pointing UK sites that emit collateral spam
to the local "antispam" law:

But sadly s22 appears to define spam as "unsolicited direct marketing",
rather than "unsolicited bulk". Sigh. So I guess we can only use this
against the *subset* of collateral spam that actually advertises the
virus/spam blocking system that cleverly "stopped the email you sent"...
