spam checker....found this on a Yahoo message board:

Here is a possible solution to your spam problem.

Take the url that is sending you the spam messages and go to this network solutions page, networksolutions.com

Put the full url in, i.e. "whatever.com", after submitting that query you will be given a whole lot of information about who has registered that domain name.

At the very bottom you should see a domain servers section. These are the dns names of the servers that are hosting the domain name. It will be something like "dns1.hostcompany.com". Cut/paste "hostcompany.com" into a new browser to hit the hosting company's web site. They will all have a "contact us" link that you can send complaints to.

I would forward them the message that you receive. I would think that after they start receiving complaints about a domain they are hosting that they will shut them down.

From what I've found, there are no laws against sending spam. Apparently, it's just a little more ethical to put a link at the bottom to be taken off a list. This is probably a way to keep their hosting service off of their backs for sending the spam in the first place. But, if the email link is out of service, they are not keeping up with their side of the agreement.
