but dialsprint should have an AUP that requires all mail to be relayed and
therefore complainging to them should get that persons account shut
down...

but you can submit that relay for blocking and there are three different
blocking lists (dial up, open relays and companies who spam), you can pick
and choose which to use... 'dial up' blocking is a no brainer, 'open
relays' pretty much likewise but 'companies who spam' is one to bandy
about whether you agree with the criteria set down by the guys adding (and
removing) companies from that list...

unfortunately a lot of good stuff is BCC'd... correct me if i'm wrong but
a lot of mailing lists use BCC to hide all the recipients and your email
is almost never in the To or CC
