Radix?  That name did not show in my $ whois output.

$ whois --version
Version 5.5.13.

Well I did send all the message source info to godaddy when I filed the abuse complaint.  I also sent the same info to my ISP.  There's practically been no change so far, just a new "sender" has arrived to take the previous one's place.

Apparently this is an ongoing battle. Are there any better ISP's that are more aggressive about taking this spam issue more seriously?  Are there any anti spam laws in NH, or the US?  There is the CAN-SPAM act, according to the FTC, but these spammers put in enough info to technically be close to compliance.

The fact that many of these spams are

X-Origin-Country: RU

Gives me pause.

My command line whois outputs more info than what is below ( the registry info for example ) , but the Registrar info is the same.

Domains By Proxy is also GoDaddy, well, owned by the same guy that founded it anyway, they’re connected. It is almost certain that this domain name was purchased from them.

To know where a spam email originated from though, you would have to parse the email headers, which would list the IP address of every mail server it went through.  Reporting those IP’s is generally more effective at stopping spam than reporting domain names.

There are likely automated ways of doing that, but I am not familiar with them.  I do know that mail server reputation is something that mail providers / businesses care about ( to some extent anyway, and some more than others ), because they get shut off if it gets too low. ( other people won’t take their mail ).

Registrar is godaddy.  I did contact ab...@godaddy.com.  Is there a more automated (scripted?) way of getting this done?  So it doesn't take so much of my time? It feels like tilting at windmills, but, it would be good to fight back a little.  Domains by Proxy is the intermediary - a corporation set up to "manage unsolicited contacts from third parties and keeping the domains owners' personal information secret". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domains_by_Proxy

Is ab...@godaddy.com the only (legitimate) mechanism available to me?

What does the domain status above mean?  That the status is unavailable to me?  Or something else?

I did a whois, and due to privacy cr*p, there's no longer a way to get
to the registrants.  I can see why this might be, but it does make it
harder to report people
