The only thing you can do is , as Bryan mentioned, find out via whois what the originating IP is and contact their ISP. Then stay on the ISP's case until you get some sort of details on the user, if they will let you have it. If you do get an email address for the spammer, send them some hate-mail threatening legal action. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unfortunately from what I have seen lately, most spam comes from either China, hijacked desktops, or mis-configured proxies. You can't get a response from China (accounts there are under $3US/month), and ISP's will not sniff the hijacked desktops to see who is actually sending the spam. I already have all IP addresses from China in my server's blacklist. -- Ed Weinberg <nylug () q5comm com> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ethical Hacking at InfoSec Institute.
