Although this falls short of the European anti-spam law, which is an opt-in law, i.e. you cannot send emails unless the recipients have opted in to receive your emails, this is a first step in seeking to reduce spams. However, the spams do not seem to have reduced in the US after the law has been passed for more than 3 years. Let's see it will work in Singapore to reduce the spams.
