In short Dale, there's nothing you can really do because it's
likely this kind of cyber-terrorist scum is sending these
attacks from one of those cyber-terrorist criminal internet
cafes out of the USA, or using a email header forging program.
All you can TRY to do: is you MUST get the full email headers
in order to report it, but that's likely to be futile due to
what I said above, and in the unlikely event they ARE from a
REAL PC; it's from Europe (RIPE), Asia (APNIC) or S. America
(LACNIC) the ISP's there don't care because they're in on this
type of state-sponsored cyber-terrorism.
You MIGHT, POSSIBLY, be able to do something if the email
headers are not forged, and are based in the USA. But you have
no way of knowing if the headers are real or fake. If the
originating IP shows it's based in the USA, it's slightly more
likely they MIGHT be real, but still not very likely.
As Phil mentioned, contrary to all ISP's TOS/TOA policies, they
DO CONDONE this kind of behavior, ignore it and turn a blind
eye to it. And, SpamCop IS IN ON IT. For over a decade I've
been telling those idiots at SpamCop the addresses to which
they are "allegedly reporting" these kinds of atrocities are
BOGUS--either no longer valid or NEVER WERE in use! I have
even PROVIDED THEM with the real addresses! They don't care,
they just keep using the same bogus reporting email addresses
making the unsuspecting SC user think that something is
actually being done.
What you have to do is take matters into your own hands, but
again that could only help IF the email headers are real and
not forged, and several other things have to fall into place
for you: For example, if the emails have a website's URL in
it, and IF, IF, IF, the whois information on the domain is NOT
bogus (they usually are bogus, something also that is "not
allowed" by registrar's TOS/TOA yet they condone it), you can
find ways of attacking the domain owner. Subscribe their email
address to every kind of BS you can find, and have all sorts of
ridiculous things sent to their street address. For their
name, use something additional like "cyber-terrorist parasite",
then when they get all these emails sent to them, trial
magazine subscriptions, vacuum cleaner free trials, etc., etc.,
it will be addressed to "Cyber-terrorist parasite", and they'll
also have to handle the return of all these products and
cancellation of magazine subscriptions. Be sure and pick some
"really choice" magazines and products. Magazines like
"Ge*nital Acne Quarterly", "Closet Cross-Dresser", etc.,
they'll have to cancel (or will they?? HA!! No they don't
exist....at least not to my knowledge, but you get my point),
LOL. Products like "personal pleasure enhancement products"
that have "send no money now, we'll bill you later" promos,
preferably from places like "Nadine's House of Pleasure" that
have really descriptive shipping boxes. ROTFLMAO. Hopefully
they'll have really nosy gossipy neighbors and a nosy gossiping
mailman/delivery person that will also make their life a hell.
You also immediately tell your ISP about this in efforts to
thwart any complaints about against you. That's in the
unlikely event your ISP actually does anything about spammers
and cyber-terrorism.

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/
