That would be the practice to follow - or check out http://www.abuse.net
If you register at abuse.net (send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and reply with
the words "I accept" to the auto-ack) - then if you want to complain to
say hotmail.com you can mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] [makes for easy
filtering]
Oh BTW - in case you folks want to know you are complaining to the right
place - see http://ddi.digital.net/~gandalf and http://spam.abuse.net to
read headers. Samspade <http://www.samspade.org> is a fantastic web based
set of utilities (whois, traceroute, blacklist check etc etc).
Binand / Raj, complaining to rediffmail will be no damned use. I (and
other members of the international anti-spam community) have them tagged
as clueless bozos who do NOT respond to such complaints. In fact, dozens
of spammers are using dropboxes on indiatimes / rediffmail / 123india etc,
and these guys do NOT respond to spam complaints.
Mail all other contact ids you find on their website (or as they are
headquartered in Bombay, follow up by phone / personal visit). We'd all
take it as a personal favor.

A real huge clue - http://www.mail-abuse.org/rbl and
