Dear postmaster at ixc.ixc.net,

You did not reply to my previous inquiry about this problem, and today I have 
received another obnoxious email message which was sent to a mailing list, 
using your site's facilities. The name has changed, from "Samantha Jerrings" 
to "Janet Dove" but the essence is the same, a widely distributed attempt to 
gain new customers for a magazine subscription service.

Enclosed are the headers from this latest message, plus an excerpt containing 
the company address which might yield more information. According to the first 
Received: header, it originated from pm1-62.ixc.net [198.70.48.62] and was 
sent through cornell.edu from there, on to the header-people mailing list. 
However, the Message-id implicates a host [205.230.67.34] (which corresponds 
to the hostname ppp34.ingress.com).

As I said, this is an ongoing problem involving abuse of the Net via your 
ixc.net facilities. What are you going to do about this problem?

Sincerely,
Chris Koenigsberg
U. of Chicago Academic Computing Services
