Fight back: Spam Cop
If you're tired with all the unsolicited e-mail piling in your mailbox, you can report every and single one of those nasty spammers. Although people do know that they can report spam, many of us are not to be bothered with finding the true domain of its origin, as almost all spam is rerouted a couple of times to cover its tracks.

This is where Spam Cop and similar online spam reporters come in handy:

"SpamCop parses reported email, sending warning information to the internet service provider responsible for hosting the services used by the spammer (web sites and email sending sites). SpamCop also uses the information to generate SpamCop's free blocking list.
Unfortunately, this is an ongoing battle. Spammers adapt quickly and persistently. Report spam and help SpamCop turn the tide. SpamCop makes this otherwise slow and technical task quick and easy."


says the Spam Cop website.

The only thing you have to do is to sign up for the free service and start whistle blowing.

Oh, yes, you'll need to send them the full e-mail header in order for them to be able to track down the spam e-mail origin. Learn here how to extract headers depending on your e-mail agent.
