I have noticed on one of my lists a spammer sending mail to the owner
address.  I have dealt with WCO on a non-spam issue and they were
quite helpful.  They do not tolerate spam and terminate accounts on
their system.  Recently someone spammed me from USA. net to which I
got back the following when I complained:
=========
Dear Sir or Madam,

Thank you for reporting the unsolicited commercial e-mail that you
recently received.

We have cancelled the sender's account for complaints of spam, which
violate(s) our Terms & Conditions Agreement.

======
Now that is what I call effective spam blocking!

Mark
