Re: MIDRANGE-L Digest V3 #633

[Jim Langston <jlangston@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

What I have always done when I get SPAM is to e-mail abuse@<their ISP> and 
forward
the spam I received from them, with headers.

If I can find out what their ISP is and if it's one that has a reputionation.  
It generally works
in 80% of the cases.

The subject line I put "SPAM"

The rest I just attach their message.

Regards,

I send them a note politely asking them to stop.

Then each time I get something from them, I send them back another note
attaching their note.  The first time I send it once.  On the second time,
I send it twice explaining that's what I going to do.  I've never had the
number go beyond 10.

Note that I do have the luxury of a fast Internet line.
