Car Forum / Pontiac / Pontiac Firebird / February 2004OT need some help
As a long time reader and occasional poster to this newsgroup, i am impressed with the way you guys report spam damn near every time. I also read other NG that are littered with simular crap...how do I go about getting and reporting the IP's of the offenders?

Honestly, I am not familiar with AOLs news program, but there is some way to view the message headers. Once you see the headers, look for an ip address. Trace that, and when you get the originating ISP, you forward the whole message, with headers to abuse@thatisp.xxx. In the case of Supernews, you report the spam to them...

Technically, The message can be traced back in the logs via the message-id. That's assuming it's not forged, etc. Unfortunately for you, AOL doesn't allow the average AOL user to see the message headers in the client. You can google a message and see full headers if you wish, but by that point chances are the spam has already been reported. When we say headers, this is what we're talking about: Newsgroups: alt.autos.camaro.firebird Date: Thu, 19 Feb 2004 06:25:23 -0500 References: <20040219010536.04580.00002168@mb-m10.aol.com> User-Agent: KNode/0.7.2 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7Bit X-No-archive: yes Lines: 15 Organization: FUSE Internet Access NNTP-Posting-Host: 216.196.132.254 X-Trace: 1077189828 nnrp3.fuse.net 52151 216.196.132.254 X-Complaints-To: abuse@fuse.net NNTP-POSTING-HOST = IP Addy.

You can also take the time to trace the IP and find out what public information you can. (Or private depending on how far you want to go with it - that's all I have to say 'bout that.)

Depends on the privacy laws, but for the most part, nope. All it takes for you to be dropped from AOL for instance is prove that you violated the TOS. Same can be said for earthlink, compuserve, netscape, etc. 99.99999999999% of the time the answer is no. Spammers are cowards and do not fight back because it's easier just to create a new account and start spamming again. (Do not confuse the casual spammer with a troll. Trolls are a different breed. S'far as spam goes though, have at it.) Now of course, me? I leave my information out there purposefully. If they want to trace it back to me, have at it. <evil grin> Martin '01 Formula - MTI Air Box Lid, K&N Filter, Hurst-6, SLP Cold Air Induction & Smooth Intake Bellow Corsa Catback w/Premium Tips '83 V45 Magna Im dealing with a troll... > Im dealing with a troll... Well, Luckily for you, aol.com resolves to Dulles, VA. So unless the troll has an insider, you're completely safe. Report away! Who's the troll? Certainly haven't seen anything blatantly trollish here in a bit. Martin '01 Formula - MTI Air Box Lid, K&N Filter, Hurst-6, SLP Cold Air Induction & Smooth Intake Bellow Corsa Catback w/Premium Tips '83 V45 Magna no. I have never really witnessed a blatent troll in here in years. Im just glad there is a way to fight back.

It's very simple to set up a dummy account with hotmail or netscape or whatever. Use that for your spam fodder and for reporting.
