Hi Dale
IMHO the best way of dealing with such B*s is to report them through
SpamCop.
They at least have some (Not much, considering the attitude of a lot of
ISP's, they are more interested in the bottom line than any ethical
consideration, but at least some) influence as they represent quite a
lot of us poor common users. My ISP consults SpamCop's Blacklist for
their e-mail filtering, as I presume other more reputable ISP's would.
SpamCop's URL is http://www.spamcop.net/
