~Hey, I just sent mail to postm...@execpc.com on the chain letter
~that originated there, and the poster lost his usenet account. I got
~a reply today from the postmaster letting me know if the person 
~calls and talks to them about it, they might give him his account
~back. Once. 

~See, it does work! Think you'll have to read another spam from that
~cat? I think not. ;-)

EXACTLY!
I have personally cost 28 spammers their accounts in 1996. Of course, I have a
deal set up with my ISP where a autoresponse is sent from the postmaster to the
account I specify when I send mail with SPAM in the subject :-)
A beautiful system, a letter from me and my ISP, and the other sysadmin takes
notice.

Here's the letter I send to the offending spammer and cc to his postmaster:

Postmaster;
Please advise your client that I do not appreciate his spam and/or unsolicited
email. Please take any actions necessary to prevent future occurrences of this
nature from your client. I would also like the source of the mailing list that
your client possesses which contains my email address, so I may have my address
removed.Thank you for your attention in this matter.

Sincerely,  

Edward McCain
