There are a plethora of RBLs out there with much larger IP lists of
spammers than this... if you want to help fight spam, start contributing
to the RBLs via something like SpamCop.
I, personally, don't put much faith in such things as blacklists. IPs
aren't always static, especially when spammers are concerned. As such,
I tend to deal with things on a per-email basis, using things such as
DCC and Razor2 via SpamAssassin. SA is set up to use a few RBLs,
though, I think, to help skim some of the fat off the top.
As for the spamming them back... that's really somewhat pointless. Just
dealing with an IP, we can look up the real owner of the IP, and spam
them, but they likely aren't the spammers themselves, and fighting fire
with fire usually just turns more things into ashes...
Report 'em, sure, but don't spam them.
Also, be wary of posting large lists of IPs to public forums such as
this. Some ISP's AUPs may forbid such posts. Off of usenet, on
webboards, such posts are generally killed on sight.
As usual your right just had a momemtary fit when I posted that but don't
know how to remove it. Or even if it can be.
Downloaded SamSpade 1.14 to try and get abuse addies a little easier and it
seems to work. The rest that you mentioned is news to me and will have to
sit down and google them to find out about them.
Also, your sig delimiter seems to be broken, it was '--' instead of '-- '
or so my news client said.
It probably is as i have never been able to figure them out correctly and
just went on some advice i read a long time ago. Now I just delete
extranious symbols and hope for the best.
