Forward them to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] and demand that the senders account
should be
closed, the sending domain be blocked, but never mail any of the spammers accounts to
be removed, then you
will just get even more spam. Allways copy all of the headers of the spam into the
body, when forwarding, so
the sender can be traced.

Yes, they want to know if you got the mail and have read it. Once you call, they know
they were succesful and
will send a lot more.
