I know you aren't in the US but I forward all my spam to uce@ftc.gov then simply delete it. My hope is that eventually thr ftc will attack the spammer. Can't hurt for everyone to forward their spam to the ftc (Federal Trade Commission). Richard On Sun, 2003-06-15 at 08:57, Philippe Vogel wrote:
Hi!
You all know the mails: "free funds from us loads" (bla bla bla) you can get a lot of money and so on.
The header is faked, like with all those spam mails.
The mail leads to:
http://www.easyusgrants.com/cashgrantsa.html
ISP:

Is there a way to get rid of a spammer, if I get the following from the isp's address after writing to abuse@isp:
[...]
This message was created automatically by mail delivery software (Exim).
A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:
abuse@cyberangels.nl SMTP error from remote mailer after RCPT TO:

May this come from the isp having problems, because of too many abuse mails?
I'm totally nerved of getting this spam and my mailserver cannot block mail from faked addresses.
By the way, does anybody know, if it is possible to integrate dns-checks of faked mail-servers in the mail-headers?
Philippe
P.S.: Are there any higher privileged institutions to get rid of that isp, if he is behind that spam?
