Hi Jim,

>From what I have been noticing lately, it doesn't seem to do too much
to the spammer to simply report it to Spamcop or one of the other DNSBL
sources, simply because not enough mail servers out there pay attention
to them.

Instead, since you can actually verify that the spammer replied to your
message, you can now lookup the information on their ISP and complain
to them about it. Sure, there are ISPs out there that still are
somewhat lax in their position against spammers, but more and more
lately, ISPs are getting on board to try to fight the spam problem.

With any luck, you can hurt this guy better by having his ISP come down
on him. If you simply report to Spamcop or DNSBLs then you can put a
dent in the number of people that will receive his message, but won't
really affect him too much in the long run.

Good luck!

David
