What bugger, Anders? My servers don't show the post that you're
responding to, nor does Google show it.

Reporting spam is mostly a waste of time. It will stop a few
individuals but will have little effect on the professional spammers
who send the bulk of spam that I receive. There are server owners all
over the world who will host just about anything without question. Many
of the big professionals own many domain names as well as servers, and
shift from one to another as they get locked out by ISPs. The laws
concerning spam are absent or not enforced in many countries.

What you need is a few disposable eMail addresses that can be closed
everytime spam becomes too great. Use one for posts, one for buying
online, etc. Then when spam becomes a problem on one, just close it and
open a new one. Since I have two domains with domain mail, I am in
complete control. I can create any address I want of the form
or . It takes no more than a minute to
create an eMail address or delete it on the server. You can have up to
hundreds of addresses, if need be. Now I have an eMail account at
Yahoo, which has very good filters. I am set up so that I can go to
Yahoo mail and view and erase all of the eMail received on the server
using pop mail.

For those who do not have a domain, Yahoo mail, and likely others, have
disposable eMail addresses, if you wish. You set up a parent address
that you do not use on the web. Then you create sub addresses or delete
them at will. Thus your parent address is protected from spam received
from the sub addresses.

At the moment I use my spamtrap1 address for Usenet with the name
cwdjrxyz. When spamtrap1 attracts too much spam, it may become spampot.
However the cwdjrxyz will remain the same so that others will know who
I am.

I sort of agree. Certainly to beat the determined spammer, you need
to be determined and experienced yourself.

OTOH if it is some privatre individual that is annoying you, check the
headers of the post. If there is a complaints-to address, use that -
you could check the T&Cs of the ISP first to help formulate your
complaint. Oherwise look for the domain of the newserver being used
and email abuse at that domain.

It might not get action, but it is quite easy to do.
