snippings

OP will get abuse reports. Poor attempt OP. These groups only function
because commercial stuff is kept out, and there are enough
knowledgeable people to see you face the consequences of spamming.

Out of curiosity, how would you go about that? Who woould you report and
to whom with info gotten where?

Thanks
GM


for OE users simply type ctrl f3 for full details of original spamming post
with full headers, ctrl a to highlight whole post including the full headers
you have just opened up, ctrl c to copy this to your clipboard then forward
post to the originators ISP abuse department, ctrl v pastes the full headers
into the forwarded post and make the subject "SPAM COMPLAINT" A brief
explanation to the recipient about why you are forwarding the offending post
such as excessive cross posting frequent posting of same advert, posting in
contravention of newsgroup charter, morphing of senders ID (we all know who)
etc. Interestingly abuse "on the net" is not a problem whereas abuse "of the
net" is.


Thanks John,

I have had a look at the header info for 'Logan' it doesnt contain as
much information as say my header which includes things like client
type, 'complaints to' etc etc. Is there a way that he is hiding this
info? The header does contain an ip address X-Trace. Will that be the IP
of the machine that he used to post the message?

I know this is slightly off topic but it is about usenet... so please
indulge me as i dont tolerate spammers very well )
