[newbie] Spam mail
I read that the list administrators send the junk mail to different organizations. Could someone indicate one of them? I have some spam I want to send to them in order to stop the spammers. Thank you.

They get enough of their own. :-) You complain to the ISPs providing connectivity for the spammer. You need to know how to expand and read headers to determine where the spam really came from and what the appropriate targets of your wrath might be. Don't overlook drop boxes and web pages listed in the spam. You can get preferred abuse addresses for ISPs at http://abuse.net. abuse.net also runs a forwarding service for spam complaints. For instance, if you get a spam from an aol user, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] will auto forward to whatever address aol is using this week to handle spam complaints. Include the entire spam with expanded headers in your complaint. Best place for a newbie getting started on spam fighting to get help is the usenet news group news.admin.net-abuse.email. They'll help you with confusing or forged spam headers. I also have some links to tutorials on my spam fighting page at http://oriez.org Once you're comfortable, good tools to use include http://combat.uxn.com. Sam Spade was my favorite tool in my M$ days, but it hasn't been ported to linux yet and it blows up under wine. I have a query in to the author about his plans for a linux port. I'm using procmail now with good success, except my ISP's security setting blocks me from invoking sendmail from the script for bounces. - -- - --- Oh come now. At least pretend to be scared.
