As Steve Lamb pointed out in his reply, it is fairly academic since
spammers are very briefly lived members of the community. However, I
personally manually drag an offending message to the Anit-Spam account
and hit reply. Even with a web presence and membership of many other
lists, I see very little spam traffic and usually follow up each
offence - reporting to the abused host and getting the culprit ousted.
The Anti-Spam bounce *has* worked for me a couple of times though.
Cheers,
Marck
