Well done, you've just reported one the UK's largest ISP's as spammers, and
probably (likely) had nothing to do with the spam at all.

At least one of their DSL (dial-up?) lines was used to post the article.
... so the correct address for the abuse complaint would have been
abuse@dsl.pipex.com. (not that I think this will help fighting spam at all,
that fight has been lost a long time ago  )

I think the fight is going our way. Use of anti-spam software such as
Spamhilator has drastically reduced the amount of spam getting through
(although it still travels to the endpoint, so doesn't reduce the burden on
your connection). Mail-client vendors such as Pegasus and Microsoft now
include anti-spam algorithms.
The problem is getting the hoi-poloi to use this technology effectively. I
would guess that the number of people on the net who are genuinely 'at one'
with their computer/environment (e.g. developers) is probably less than 5%
of the netwide community (possibly even less than 1%). With only minor
exceptions, these people are the only people who are currently reaping the
rewards of anti-spam software, with other AS users insufficiently
profficient or able to use it properly.
Good anti-spam software requires user interaction to maintain it's careful
balancing act of deciding whether something is good or bad, and this is the
biggest problem because people want AS software they can install and
forget.
Spamhilator is one of several AS tools that is making headway here. It can
be configured to automatically update itself, and it can use on-line
databases of known spam messages to identify about 60% of spam messages,
greatly reducing the burden on user.

on Thu, 24 Feb 2005 08:38:39 -0700Well I would agree with you phil, except traces elements lead back to a
person using PIPEX, I sent the EMAIL package alone with its residual
trace elements... I know this is an fruitless, but you know, I have
worked with DShield and if anything it does place Enormous pressure on
IP carries to take some responsibility in hand... If every one spent
just a few mins a day terrorizing IP spammers, there would be less, and
less is better....
Peace
