No, it is not true. There is no law that explicitly forbids unsolicited
email - which is a damn goog thing, or the Internet would break down. How
would anyone initiate a dialogue with anyone else via email? The first
letter would be 'unsolicited'.

You can block email from their domain - but then you'll piss off any uses
who have friends at the other ISP. Since it is a commercial post it is
email spam if it goes to all of your users. So you could try complaining
to the upstream provider that gives them their feed, some providers have
strict rules against spamming.
