Good question. Coincidentally, I got my AU bill this weekend, and they
included a flyer about steps they're taking to reduce cmail spam.
It was all in Japanese, so I'm not sure exactly what it said, but I think
the gist was that they're changing the service contract to forbid sending
spam and halting two cmail related services. One seemed to be a free
email to cmail gateway.
Cmail seems much more limited in size, but perhaps the advantage is that
it can be addressed to phone numbers, enabling spam war-dialing?
