The best thing to do is take a look at the spam headers and post a
notice to abuse@a2000.nl since the originator of the message is easy
to find by looking at the following:
: Received: from mail.FreeBSD.org (node-c-173f.a2000.nl [62.194.23.63])
: by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with SMTP id 4845643E9E
: for <freebsd-arch@FreeBSD.org>; Wed, 20 Nov 2002 04:55:36 -0800 (PST)
: (envelope-from sandrasavimbi7@lycos.com)
That's what I did. More than once. Signing my messages with PGP too.
This very spammer has hit the lists more than once, and every time I
mailed {abuse|postmaster} at a2000.nl. If they receive a few hundred
messages for each spam message they let through they will certainly
start acting fast >:-)
So instead of replying to the lists, let abuse@ know.
Many times!
