Well, once, in my free time, I interviewed a number of well known sysadmins on a certain IRC network asking what they do to deal with these pesky spammers. The majority noted that small ISPs don't even respect their own spam policies (if they have one) in fear of losing valuable broadband users. You mail the abuse desk and get no response or "we will investigate" reply while still nothing is really done. In that case, if the ISP is so persistent in spammer protection, use your favorite network tools to look up who is their uplink and mail them instead with all the details, logs , etc. It is usually only the threat of contacting the uplink of the said ISP that sets the abuse desk wheels in motion :) Why? Most of the uplink service contracts have a part that deals with instant termination of service and paying of huge fines by the poor bandwidth reseller that made the wrong decision of hosting spammers. -- Sincerely Yours, Vasiliev Michael NP: XMMS is not loaded. ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
