I deal with it daily on my throwaway email address. Unsubscribing did nothing, and I just kept adding to my block list. Reported to the host ISP, uplink providers and cc’d support@, help@, admin@, billing@ and spam@. Provided full headers of a dozen emails, screenshots of folder listing emails, any and all proof it wasn’t a spoof IP. That included emails to anti-spam organizations and report centers.
Took a while to compile it all and prove eleven thousand plus spams in six weeks were from one IP.
Got a nice thank you and a nasty thank you. Nice was his termination and a sincere thank you for all that work. But nasty was I sent in too much shit. I responded that he’s paid to read my shit and it’s his job to deal with it. I reminded him I could report him to the Can Spam Act people and his uplink provider.
Wednesday I noticed that I had less than a dozen spams. Tonight i had four. Until I get on another spam list ....
Packet kiddies came to mind. Forwarding emails back to him. Signing him up for everything. Then I said it’s not worth my time. Report it and move on. They laugh and keep spamming. We spend hours angry and trying to make it stop.
Uplink providers don’t like spam reports where you say you reported it weeks ago and their customer did nothing. Go to the top, don’t dicker with the spammers. They’ll DOS your IP and super-spam you. Don’t let them know YOU are the complainer.
