Not more than you all by yourself. But if it´s not $evil_provider but simply $attackers_provider it usually helps. AOL and @home are other matters, though. I have experienced enough cases where complaints I sent from my home-address were completely ignored, but when sent from my work-address (or, to cut matters short, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, which I´m also part of) attention was given almost immediately. &rw -- / Ing.
