Unfortunately, there's nothing we can do to prevent a spammer from subscribing and collecting any mailing lists. If you have any proof that they're collecting addresses from redhat-list, it probably qualifies as theft of service and resource abuse, but I'm not a lawyer. However, you can try to have them shut down. Look at the message: > Return-Path: > Received: from mc2.law5.hotmail.com (1Cust84.tnt1.medford.or.da.uu.net [63.27.242.84]) > by pop.idx.com.au (8.9.3/8.9.3) with SMTP id GAA16830; > Thu, 8 Jun 2000 06:38:57 +1000 The message originates from uu.net -> let abuse@uu.net know. The spammer fakes a hostname in *.hotmail.com -> let abuse@hotmail.com know. He's not actually using the hotmail servers, but claiming he does so damages their reputation and generates traffic and workload on their abuse department; some ISPs have successfully sued spammers over that. > http://3454552827/users/nfc4/teen5.html 3454552827 is 205.232.74.251 == FreeSpaceStation.com --> Go http://www.freespacestation.com/abuse.shtml If they don't react, according to ARIN their direct uplink is nsiweb.com, so you'll want to complain to abuse@nsiweb.com and sanj@nsiweb.com.
