In light of the recent spam/nospam discussions on the list, I thought
I'd share something one of my customers got with the rest of you:

I think if you try mailing the spam concerned to abuse@demon.net they
will deal with it - regardless of what the spammer may claim.
Did you try that?

If you look at the headers again (I won't repost them), the spam actually
was sent through a US mail relay from an IP behind enterprise.net, a
customer of BT. Demon isn't in the headers, and I imagine it's probably a
ploy to get people to attack demon.co.uk.
However, abuse@the-involved-providers-here is a much better forum to
address your complaints.

I got the same annoying spam, more than once, and reported it to
abuse@demon.co.uk. I got a reply back within the hour with a tracking
number. Haven't heard anything since then, but it's only been two days
and I don't doubt that demon is taking care of this.
