Yeah, but at least one sender IP that can't be forged. Run jwhois on that, which usually gives you an abuse@provider adress, and then simply forward them the spam. Normal providers hate hosting spammers. Unless, of course, it's one of those phantom PC farms constitued of 50.000 infested Windows PC's.

As it was, the original poster of the thread did not post his email headers, so we are just taking his word for it that it came from eircom.net. However, emailing their abuse@xxxxxxxxxx now gets an auto-response that they will not accept reports via email, but you must now fill in a web form to report.

In which case I notified them that I considered that RFC-Ignorant behavior and that each and every offending IP would be included in my local DNSBL.

Problem solved!

Cheers!
