Hebrew spam: what to do about it?

[ronys]

Indeed it's legal. When the anti-spam law was passed, a special exemption was put in to allow politicians to send spam.

IIRC, this was Leiberman's initiative.

I'll donate the 1000 NIS right back into anti-spam efforts or to KDE

The spam I got was political spam as well. This is legal? The message
said at the bottom that it is legal, but I doubt it. What is special
