Not quite so simple, though, is it. If you want to make a complaint
then you have to get your EU national data protection regulator
interested. Even the worst-leaking ESPs are unlikely to generate
many complaints, I suspect. And if they are located outside the EU
with no direct business presence within the EU then it requires the
regulator to make approaches to foreign governments who might or
might not be willing to cooperate.<br>
<br>
In the UK the data protection regulator is the ICO
<<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.ico.org.uk">www.ico.org.uk</a>> and, whilst it is perhaps one of the better
UK regulatory agencies, I still wouldn't hold out much hope of
getting them to do anything like this (where multiple levels of
evidence would need to be collected) in individual cases.<br>

Sadly so but I think that if you have a decent and consistent volume
(and follow all the usual good hygiene requirements) then it should
be possible to get on their automated radar in a positive way. It
seems to me that it's small volume senders who have the real
deliverability problems.<br>
