Hi, when you get spam like the one we all received, here's what you need to
do:
First, turn on the feature of your mail program to show all the unsightly
headers, the abuse folks need that to track the spam. Then copy the entire
text and create a new mail and send it to the "abuse" account at the
sender's domain. For example, below is your mail to the list. Since your
mail came from "...@ozemail.com.au", if I wanted to report you for a spam,
I would send a copy of your entire message to "abuse@ozemail.com.au". All
domains are required to maintain an "abuse" account, most do. If that
bounces, try sending it to "postmaster@ozemail.com.au". Several of us on
the list apparently sent the original spam to "abuse@msn.com" -- I received
a reply that 3 accounts had been closed also!
