> Sam Heywood I reported spams with Spamrecycle some time back but didn't notice any reduction in the spams I received. Sometimes I send a spam complaint when I feel confident of knowing what server it came through. I suppose spammers can even set up their own SMTP servers on their own computer, then the spam never goes through the ISP's mail servers. I find it especially annoying to receive the smae spam multiple times from the same spammer. This happened on my last mail download with a message of 135 KB coming twice, promoting a chain-letter pyramid scheme with the text in a quoted-printable MS-Word .rtf attachment. Even if I wanted to go in for that get-rich-quick (?) scheme, I might not be able to dig out the correct addresses to send money to. Those spammers who send spams that promote something clearly fraudulent, such as chain-letter pyramid schemes and the Nigeria scam, ought to be prosecuted.
