Need help nailing a spammer... advice?

[geno]

Damnit I'm getting sick of this - I can deal with small time spam, but when 150 of the same damn emails come through, I get irate :|

I have the header/source of the email:

Received: from mc2-f31.law16.hotmail.com ([65.54.237.38]) by mc2-s6.law16.hotmail.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC(5.0.2195.5600);

*bunch of garbled crap*



How can I go about getting the loser's IP that sent this at the time? I want to contact the ISP (japy.com??). It may be a futile attempt, but I gotta try something, this is pissing me off :|

have you tried spamcop?

also, i would just block it, if this is the same email all the time....

turn on the high filter on hotmail. Block the sender if it's the same address. If it's the same sender, but not the same address, you're out of luck. You can also try writing an email to admin@host.com and send a complaint. More than likely, the whole server is a spam server.

Good luck...i go through it everyday with my hotmail account. I've learned to live with it. Just make sure that you check your junk mail folder daily to make sure you're not deleting important email.

edit: i saw hotmail in the header and assumed you were using it. I went back and looked that you were using yahoo. Maybe they have similar settings. Sorry

Like I said, I'm usually ok with the 20 or so spam emails I get a day, it's just when one message is sent over 150 times, and floods my mailbox...kinda pisses me off Thanks for the help so far guys! I'll see where it goes I'm on hotmail, but for some reason, the "To:" field reads another addy?

Also, I thought that an IP address had to be supplied in the header? Is this something Hotmail leaves out or can the sender bypass that?

OT - man, I'm impressed that anyone can tolerate HotMail anymore....

194.206.138.146 is the IP you're looking for.

Traceroute to the IP leads through FRANCE of all places.
