You need to forward the actual message to the abuse address. You can also use Postmaster@(the ISP's name the message came from) For example, If the message was posted from: nastyone@spam.com forward the message received to: abuse@spam.com and or to: postmaster@spam.com It really does work. I do this everytime there is spam. Put a brief explanation in you forward. I usually explain that the mail was unsolicited and came to a genealogy list that subscribe to. Ask that they please do something about it. Don't answer the spammer, because then they have your address and you often times continue to get spam. Nancy: benttree@bright.net
