I am sending their management hate mail, making phone calls, etc .... When you get this kind of email expand the headers, most of the from and reply addresses are forged, but the received list should show a good ip address. Do a traceroute to each of the addresses, and send email to root, postmaster, and abuse at each of the addresses. Copy the headers and your traceroutes into your replies. -- Craig Shaver (craig@progroup.com) (415)390-0654 Productivity Group POB 60458 Sunnyvale, CA 94088
