SUGGESTION
Could you not post messages saying which ISPs you have sent reports to.
The spammer is reading this group and is changing his ISP details at about the same time. Gianna |

If only that were true, but it almost never happens. I doubt if he was foolish enough to use is own account details - but it is still better not to show one's hand just in case. -- Gianna Stefani www.buchan-meteo.org.uk |

Though if I was a sysadmin and got complaints I'd suspend the account first and answer questions later (if any where asked...). A legit user would be on the blower or email PDQ after the suspension a spamer will just move on to their next disposable account. I doubt if he was foolish enough to use is own account details Well you wouldn't would you? Got an AOL disc through the post the other day, now do AOL block telnet etc? Little bit of digging and an insecure machine, away you go. -- Cheers Dave. pam is missing e-mail |
