I personally think that their ISP's abuse mail drop should receive an email from everyone who is bugged by the SPAM. I personally think SPAM is a theft of services and approach it that way. If the ISPs received 30-70K complaints, the spammers would understand what all "plumbers" know because it would be flowing downhill to them. There is a group in Raleigh, NC that are particularly irritating. They have their own IP but when you do a traceroute, you will find that they are attached to qwest.net. It doesn't do any good to email the Raleigh people but you may get the attention of the Qwest people. I use to add to my signature something about it being hard to think you are soaring with Eagles when you accept spam like a mouse. I only add it now when I forward a spam to the abuse drops.
