[Spam from a Demon customer cut] 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. /cah

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. Jeremiah

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:
Like all of these, sending mail to abuse@demon.net will get you to the right people. It seems that the increase in spam along with the natural decrease in the ability of ISP-bought-in-a-box providers means that too much spam will be treated as if it actually originated from where it said in the From: headers without the complainants actually looking. Has anyone also noticed that in Micro$oft Outlook you cannot seem to ever get back to the original headers, only the translated ones. If someone can maybe give me a pointer, 'cause without the headers and an increase in the "consumer" user base, tracking is going to be one step harder. If not impossible.
