Ok, the provider blocked that one IP/machine but the spam moved then to a new IP. If you are lucky, you have already got one spam-mail after posting here and might get a second one after I answer yours. As the spam stays the same but the IP addresses move across continents, I believe that a botnet is behind the activities. Good luck in finding out more. Erich
