I believe that the trick to this is that instead of having everybody reply
to the spam here , have all of them forward a email to abuse@isp.com ,
whichever is the ISP at which the email originate. If everybody on this
forum takes this simple step, all these spam can be stopped at it's track..
As someone suggest, lots of guys is working in ISP, etc here.. just put in a
word through your personal contacts , etc to ban this address, etc...
