The resulting output from submitting auto-generated reports looks like this. <paste> /dev/null'ing report for postmaster#[EMAIL PROTECTED] Spam report id 77263590 sent to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Spam report id 77263596 sent to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Spam report id 77263602 sent to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] </paste> This is out put from the latest one I received via the debian lists... The odd thing about this one in particular is that it originally shows it being sent to debian-java (I am not a member of this list), then propagating to me from debian-jr (a list of which I am a member). I used this address because I want to avoid address mining by spammers picking up my work email. That is also the reason why I didn't send a link showing the detailed analysis that was done to come up with those addresses to report to. All my header information is contained in it, and then some. -chav PS too bad we can't do a reverse look up on some of these guys and bill them. Could probably find a loophole in the telemarketing laws or something else that might marginally allow us to crawl whois and bill the offending party's ISP on a technicality. At least that would help prompt some of the questionable ones to actually do something about it. I bet if we cut Qwest in on any possible recoveries, they'd all of a sudden be all about coughing up some addresses to bill. I guess greed does have a function, after all. ;-) _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
