Open Relays

Forum folk;

As shown below, my ISP alerts to spam which is already attributed to a compromised computer. Ninety-five % of my spam comes from one individual (Panov et. al.) and he has been forced from enough registrations that he now seems to resort exclusively to using Open Relays.

If spam is already on SCBL, and the other ORBLs, is continuing to report it recommended, or just unnecessary overreporting?

More reports will keep the IP on the blocklist so even if the ISP does nothing, fewer people (using the BL) will receive it. Also, if the block is noticed by the person in charge of the IP, perhaps they will figure out their problem.

  Since there is, presumably, less exposure for complainers than is the case when whining directly to registrars, would you recommend direct action on our part in addition to SC mole reporting?

That is always a good approach if you have the time. I do not so rely on the spamcop reports alone
