When you're dealing with what some people refer to as "tier 1 providers" (I'll just say really big networks), this can be counter-productive. From what I've seen the following providers have been notoriously unresponsive to spam complaints (apologies if any of this is dated):
UUnet (Worldcom)
I have had excellent results with UUnet Sweden. I mainly get in touch with them to tell them they have an AUP-violating customer; most ISPs here have an "thou shalt not spam" part of their AUP, so even if the moron lobbyists for the advertising industry managed to trick the government into an opt-out spam law (which they did, but they haven't figured out who is to run the opt-out list. Quite the farce.) nobody will be able to legally send spam from them. Spam from swedish netblocks is thus mainly due to open relays. -- Måns Nilsson Systems Specialist +46 70 681 7204 KTHNOC MN1334-RIPE We're sysadmins. To us, data is a protocol-overhead.
