Speaking of which, I have a policy such that if I have to deal with a
piece of spam, I use whois to find the abuse reporting point for the
network the zombie is on, and send them a copy of the spam, headers
and all. Am I spitting (to use a nicer term) in the ocean, or is it
worthwhile?
In particular, this is an issue with a closed mailing list I manage,
which, alas, is not on my server, so I have no control over how the
MTA is set up. So I get (as of a couple of days ago) 40 or 50 spams
per day I have to "moderate". So if I have to deal with it, the
spammer pays with (I hope) a shutdown zombie. In case the spammer is
reading this, it's hammered_dulcimers (at) lists.fmp.com.

Depends on the ISP really.
I've never heard back from any .mx, .ar or .br admins I've emailed.
I personally love it when people email us about any spam coming from our
users. We normally cut the user and email back a Thanks for the info email.
/Largish ISP, maybe 10-20K high speed users.

Rick
