Please forgive this message, as it is a minor "spam" itself, but I am sending it to some of my Lists in the interests of helping fellow Listmembers deal with the increasing level of unsolicited mail. I discovered today, through a bulletin board to which I belong, an address to learn the actual provider involved in a system which is being used for unsolicited messages, and where one can write to stop such messages. The URL is: <http://rs.internic.net/cgi-bin/whois> This will bring up a screen where one enters the domain name of the source of the spam (often "aliased" to withhold the identity of the sender). Enter the domain name (such as"mydomain.com"; without the "www") and the system will return the *actual* domain name and address of the provider involved. Write to the "postmaster" of that domain <[log in to unmask]> and ask for the spam to be stopped. The sender may then be warned, disciplined, or even disconnected. Hope this is helpful.
