We have an abuse report form, here: http://code.google.com/support/bin/request.py?contact_type=AppEngineContact Note that simply being linked to in spam is not itself in violation of our terms of service - nobody can control who links to them - but it's possible this application is in violation of other parts of our TOS. > > So, if someone on this board could PLEASE let me know how I can stop > these assholes, from continuing to SPAM me from their GOOGLE appspot, > using their GMAIL account, I would GREATLY appreciate it. The emails are almost certainly not being sent from App Engine (which would _definitely_ be a violation of our TOS) or from gmail - they're simply linking to an App Engine app, and forging a gmail from address. Unfortunately, the real hosts of such spammers are usually the sort that are either offshore in some spam-friendly jurisdiction, or hosted by people who don't pay much attention to abuse reports. My own spam folder testifies to how prevalent this is.
