No, don't do that. The sysadmin there will need to cope with the problem, it's not his fault. And in all likelyhood there is no "hspio" user there at all, or if there is then it has been forged. If such a user/person does exist, then it is likely that he has already been kicked off that system. I'm a sysadmin, and this has happened to me. The real culprit of that incident lived on the other side of the world, yet we got to deal with the aftermath he created by what he did. It could have been a lot worse, but it did make life unpleasant for us. > Just once each should suffice, and not contravene any usage policies :-). > > I did...

You have a point, but you are in all likelyhood making life very difficult for the innocent. The BEST thing to do about this sort of spam is to silently ignore them as you hit the delete button.
