Re: SPAMMER ON YOUR ISP: Take Control of Your Future NOW!

[Peter Milbury <pmilbury@ERICIR.SYR.EDU>]

Dear LM_NET,

Just to let you know that in many cases complaints against spammers and
other e-mail abusers and mass mailers work. The following was sent to me
today, shortly after I complained to Bellsouth.net about a spam that I had
received several times over. The actual address of the spammer is edited
out.
