Hey Paul, Why don't you follow the correct way of reporting spam? Which would be:
- Get the message's header - Check the IP address that the spammer is sending the messages from; - whois that address to find out the network owner (the source network owner is the guy to be blamed, not the website's host) ; Note that the sender's address mail is extremely easy to spoof, so even if it's @gmail.com, this doesn't mean it's actually a GMail account. - Send a message to abuse@<network_owner> and copy abuse@<the nic of the owner's country> Another simpler way is to create a filter in your mailbox to filter these messages out.
