This site was mentioned in a Wall Street Journal article today. It helps folks to deal with "spam." cauce.org An excerpt from the Journal article. "A tutorial from the Coalition Against Unsolicited Commercial E-mail teaches consumers on how to read a spam's message heading to determine where the message might have originated or which servers it might have passed through. Armed with those nuggets of information, a user can forward the spam to the Internet-service provider or Web server host to help them cut off the spammer. A simpler option is to simply forward the message to the FTC, which collects and tracks the spam it receives from consumers. To report a spam I received in my Hotmail inbox, I found the IP address of one computer that processed the e-mail. I looked up the IP address in a database at SamSpade.org. A quick search found the IP address belonged to Globix Corp., a New York Internet hosting service. Within an hour of my reporting the spam, Globix responded with an e-mail saying it was investigating my complaint."
