Thanks i will have a look, damn, i lost 13+ rep points! i feel like ive been spammed again! I have done the abuse email lookup... and its only the ones that continue to spam that i am pursuing, ah well, thanks for the links...! It would be great to get a script that could read the headers on a spam email and then send a copy autmatically to the relevant abuse addresses ( detecting fakes etc ) and also does a whois and automatically emails all the contacts at the various servers along the way... i guess i got carried away with this new law looming:! Electronic Frontier Foundation Action Alert! (Issued: August 2, 2002)! Representative Howard Berman has introduced legislation that would grant copyright holders near-immunity from the law while attacking a citizen's computer. The bill protects copyright holders from legal action stemming from denial-of-service attacks on people whom they suspect of using material in an unauthorized way on a peer-to-peer (P2P) network. In a ridiculously vague caveat, Berman's bill graciously says that the availability of your other files may not be impaired unless "reasonably necessary."	[reply]

Likewise, neither do I, but in the spirt of "less heat, more light" I'll offer the following: Look into SpamAssassin for state-of-the-art filtering And Spam Cop is a system that does an excellent job of parsing spam and routing complaints to the appropriate party. Fight spam, yes, but don't descend to their level. Peace, -McD	[reply]
