You need to find their ISP (possibly vastnet?) and report the spamming to them.

Or something.

Maybe.

[MonkeyDrummer]

it's like being raped by a rape counsellor

[Pinball]

I've forwarded the email + header to abuse@[everything I can find], including their ISP. Are there any good anti-spam sites that one can email spam emails to? I use "report spam" on webmail but that seems pretty useless.

Reporting them is a waste of your time, just install SpamBayes and train it up well.

[Rubbish Monkey]

Reporting them is a waste of your time, just install SpamBayes and train it up well.

hehe,  do they employ you or something?

I decided a couple of months ago to set up a website of drawing based on spam subject lines........one day i might just get around to it.
