It looks like you get the proper IP of the offending machine firing off these worms in the header (even though everything else is forged).
Is there any point in telling [EMAIL PROTECTED] that one of their DSL
customers is spamming the Internet with noxious messages? Anyone have any
experience regarding these warnings being responded to properly?
I know you can often get educational and small business sys admins to take
care of the problem (and often they're thankful of the warning), but I
wonder if it's worth the effort to notify the big guys.
It all depends on the person first receiving the notice at giantISP.com. If they feel they have to go to management, forget it. You will never get anything accomplished except for a string of denials that it came from their users. However, there are occasions were it gets seen by someone who knows what they are doing and takes care of the situation.
