My experience has been that anyone clueless enough in 2006 to run a broken server (Barracuda appliance, Qmail...), that sends backscatter to random addresses supplied by spammers and malware, is too clueless to understand a complaint about it. If you can even get a complaint through. Look their domain up in whois -h whois.abuse.net. postmaster (default, no info) every time. Send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] User unknown, or sorry, your spam report triggered our spam filter. Not just clueless, clue resistant. Clue repellent. Report them to RFC-Ignorant.org when that happens. Then add them to your local DNSBL if you can get away with it. Or your firewall.
