Suckage: Spam

[hapoo]

:mad2:

Some ******* keeps spamming my main email account. I have no clue how he got a hold of it but i've been getting crap in my email constantly. He always uses a different email address (all under MSN or Compuserve) and Link back to his page: http://members.tripod.co.uk/armesan36gycj

Strange part is that under the "To" column, my email isn't listed. But I guess there are ways to forge that.

If he's forging, you can use a tool like Sam Spade to see where he's really sending from, and maybe try to get him kicked off his ISP. Worth a shot if you feel like putting forth the effort.

Sam Spade's a good tool. I use that a lot when i get security alerts from Norton Firewall.

Also check out SpamCop (http://www.spamcop.net). You give it your email address, then it sends you a confirmation email. After that, you just use the link it sent in the confirmation and report the spam. Paste in the entire header (in outlook, go to View -> Options if'n you're not familiar with it) then select all and copy. Select all and paste the message body as well.

The past few times I've reported stuff didn't result in anything much, but occasionaly I'll get an email back from a sys admin apologizing for the low life bastage, so the tool does work.
