How to sue a spammer? or how to fine spammers?

[Glow]

I wonder if I should use small claims court in my town (in ohio) to sue the spammer in florida.

how people here sue or fine the spammers.

I have pretty new mail account and its getting ruined now

I already traced the domains(that was in the body of the email) and stuff.

basically the emails are from zombie machines in asian places but I traced the domain whois back to some man in florida.

...The consensus here seems to be that unless you have deep pockets and a lot of patience, it's more than likely not going to be worth your while to try to sue. You'd likely do better to get your e-mail administrators to filter your incoming mail using a blocklist such as SpamCop or to sign up for a SpamCop e-mail account, which can do that filtering (note: SpamCop e-mail does not provide an SMTP service, at least not yet). My Yahoo!Mail account seems to also do a fairly decent job of filtering junk mail into a special folder, thereby keeping my main inbox relatively free of spam.

Or get another email address that is alphanumeric g10w so dictionary spammers don't find you and be very careful about where you use that email address (some people have a free account for ordering things online or use sneakemail).
