It seems one has to register to get an account. Then one has to follow up on the spam by choosing the recepients for the spam report. It seems to be quite time-consuming if one receives 30-40 spam messages a day, -Andy -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Then, ring on voice on the fax machine to the other fax machine. Spammer scum and soon to be victim answers the call on voice as instructed, accepts the charges, and gets the fax ready to recieve. As soon as they turn it over to the fax machine, you hit send, and bam, they're paying for thier own abuse until someone comes by and notices it. Bonus points if the loop you make isn't a blank one, but rather has some business documents or fax memos; snip Print out all the Nigeria-scam/make-money-quick spam you and debian-user have received over the past few months and feed 'em all through the fax machine.
