Look at the headers fields, and reply to root, admin, abuse, and postmaster of the server they mailed from. There are several excellent web pages covering how to deal with spam. Next: speaking of spams, the post I am replying to was sent to the following newsgroups: comp.databases.ms-access, comp.lang.basic.visual.misc, comp.lang.c++, comp.lang.java, comp.lang.perl.misc, comp.os.ms-windows.win95.misc, comp.software-eng, comp.sys.amiga.games, comp.sys.ibm.pc.games. action,comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.adventure, comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.flight-sim, comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.rpg, comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.strategic, comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware.storage, comp.sys.laptops, comp.sys.mac.apps, comp.sys.mac.comm, comp.sys.mac.hardware.misc, comp.sys.mac.misc, comp.sys.mac.portables, comp.sys.mac.system, comp.unix.aix, comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc, control,misc.consumers.frugal-living, misc.forsale.computers.pc-specific.misc, misc.forsale.computers.pc-specific.motherboards, misc.forsale.computers.pc-specific.portables, misc.forsale.computers.pc-specific.software, misc.forsale.computers.pc-specific.systems I don't know who made this spam since it just appeared in my newsgroup and there may be prior postings which originated the spam, but I'm sure whoever did it will be having words with their provider...least, I hope so. At any rate, please do not reply. Let the thread die here.
