UK Spam Law - Attention all UK-Based Companies

The UK has updated  the Companies Act 1985 to the Companies Act 2006 and has some additional requirements for email and websites. All companies that send email from the UK need to put your registered address in the footer (instead of just a valid company address) along with your company registration number and place of registration. 

So an example footer might be:

VerticalResponse UK Division
5 Little Surrey Rd.
London, UK GHS-579

VerticalResponse UK is a company registered in England and Wales with company number 1ABF79863

There hasn't been a ton of press about this but this site has an article on the law and a site called Out-Law.com has some great information but you have to register (it's free).

If any UK customers have any more information on this please comment!

I think this law is observed more in the breach than the observance..and it is certainly very hard to police.
