make abuse@ reports to the people providing the guys service, and the guys hosting the relay - Ive had positive responses to emails directed to my webmaster@ and soa@ addresses on those grounds in the past... Both of those being obtained either by whois or by trolling my website looking for mailto links, since I dont use either login anywhere else... Never under any circumstances follow the 'unsubscribe' link for something you did not genuinely subscribe to - it just confirms your email address is active, and helps the spam propogate.... Ihug Marketting! HEX! HEX! Mark.
Did I ever admit to this list as a whole that I used to work in Marketing for ihug? That was a year ago, and I still feel dirty. :)
Besides that, talking of alarming spam trends - as well as graphical and explicit Asian spam I have been receiving a lot of "Thank you for signing up to our advertising list - reply if you want to be removed" messages I receive - Most of all I like the fact I receive them on my soa@ address.
That is the most irritating thing - if I don't respond, am I consenting? if I do will they honour it, or rate my email address higher?
