I agree 100%, however I must point out that you just ensured we
got 2 copies of it.... ;o)
Please trim postings when replying about SPAM so that you don't
make their ads doubly effective. Better yet, complain direct to
the list maintainer, and also to the person's ISP.
In general, to nail the true SPAMMER, look at the full headers of
the message, then find the BOTTOM Received line, and take the IP
address from it. Do an nslookup on it to get the ISP domain, and
then lose the subdomains. So if it was blah.blah.blah.aol.com
you would take off everything but the top level domain and the
main domain name "aol". Then forward the entire message full
headers and all to the "aol.com" domain for example at the
mailboxes "postmaster", "abuse".
In general, this approach will yeild either an autoresponder
letter or perhaps even a personal note back from the sysadmin of
the site indicating that something WILL be done and that they
take such matters very seriously. Out of about 1000 times doing
this, I've been 99.9% successful in having someone's account
destroyed, or at least preventing them from doing it again on
THAT ISP.
Just some food for thought. I share your rage though...
