**  for some months now i've been reporting
    all spam to

               http://spamcop.net/


    as i understand it, they keep a list
    of networks that are regularly reported
    as sources of spam; isp's may use that
    list and block mail coming from those
    isp's.

    i don't know if i'm really fighting
    back effectively, but it sure gives
    me a nice feeling that i'm fighting
    back.
