To Jeffrey and others (to save bandwidth): I, too, received responses from various domains regarding "SpamKing". Most of the replies were honestly trying to help. It seems that this particular spammer is very good at what he does and moves about on various providers, changing each time that he sends out a message. He does this for a living (and, I suppose, also for his perverse "jollies"). In most cases, the Internet service providers act quickly to remove him from their system, but, as soon as he is removed from one system, he gets on another. There is not much that can be done except for the Lists (including this one) to set the Listserver so that it will reject messages sent by people who do not, after a message or two, subscribe. Barb, note this; perhaps you can speak to your Listserv administrator and have this done for this List. Otherwise, the only thing to do is to make judicious use of the delete button!
