Question of the day:

"Why are always people asking about stopping to spam mailing list ?"

By essence, the one doing the job does knows he's bothering (most of)
you and probably don't even read it. The only one you bother by
complaining is the list maintainer which - obviously - is the last
person you want to annoy.

The best reaction, IMHO, is to destroy the mail as soon as possible and
forget about it (unless you want to directly respond to the sender and
send him a thousand of mails automatically generated ;-).

Cheers,

Marc.

For what it's worth, I located the ISP of one of the major spammers on this list, "SexSwap".

They are http://www.completeweb.net/.

I sent a rather nasty email to their Webmaster, djordan@completeweb.net. His response was  
sympathetic, but he claimed there was nothing he could do to stop the spam.

I replied that his company certainly had a choice to refuse service to customers who practice  
spamming. I think it might indeed be worth considering a mass "email attack" on such sites if the  
spam persists.
