Under the new code, ISPs must offer spam-filtering options to subscribers and provide a system of handling complaints. They are also required to impose limits on the rate at which their subscribers can send email. A spokesman for the ACMA said it could seek penalties in the Federal Court of up to AU$10 million for a breach of an industry code. The code will come into effect on 16 July.
