The best thing to do is take a look at the spam headers and post a notice to abuse@a2000.nl since the originator of the message is easy to find by looking at the following: : Received: from mail.FreeBSD.org (node-c-173f.a2000.nl [62.194.23.63]) : by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with SMTP id 4845643E9E : for ; Wed, 20 Nov 2002 04:55:36 -0800 (PST) : (envelope-from sandrasavimbi7@lycos.com) That's what I did. More than once. Signing my messages with PGP too. This very spammer has hit the lists more than once, and every time I mailed {abuse|postmaster} at a2000.nl. If they receive a few hundred messages for each spam message they let through they will certainly start acting fast >:-) So instead of replying to the lists, let abuse@ know. Many times!
