Hi,
With all due respect, why does it matter if their e-mail
addresses work, or how they're sending the mail? It's
advertising they're website, and that's enough. It's my
understanding that most ISPs won't tolerate sites on their
network advertising through spam, no matter how it was sent.
Why not go for the jugular and complain to their upstream
provider(s)? It's far more satisfying then doing nothing
and continue to be spammed every day.

Well, both email addresses in the spam have already been
disabled, so it's
not like they'll be able to attract customers without
attracting more
attention. They're probably not even the ones spamming,
using a spamming
service (which usually are good at hiding themseles by using
open MTAs and
bouncing around).
Best thing to do is *delete*
