Royal Mail may fire anti-spam postman

The UK Royal Mail has suspended a postman for printing and delivering a pamphlet that explained how the people on his route could get the post to stop sending them spam. The Royal Mail, which makes tons of money on the delivery of unaddressed spam, suspended the letter-carrier and may fire him.

Mr Annies decided to act after receiving dozens of complaints from householders who were fed up with the piles of junk mail dropping through their letter boxes everyday.

So, hoping he may have the answer to their prayers, he delivered his own leaflet to residents in Barry, South Wales, explaining how they could opt out of getting mailshots known as 'door-to-door' items by filling out a form.
