I get 1 to 2 spams per day. I get the message headers, look up the ISP via
http://www.arin.net/whois/ and send an email copying the full message
including headers to abuse_at_TheISP. I figure if enough people do it maybe
life will get harder for the spammers. I see a lot of times the spammer has
used someone else's email server to relay the email. (someone did not set up
their email server correctly; it should not allow relaying.)
