[SC-Help] methods used...

[Jeff G.]

Following is a quote from a knowledgable fellow from another ng - whats
wrong with this theory, if anything, aside from the fact that most folks
don't have the time with just 30-40 spams per day?
I mean, come on, in a week or two??


Its simple
>>Get spam.
>>Go to website in spam
>>       To see if it exists
>>           Do a traceroute to the site to see who hosts it
>>               Report the site to the host
>>do the same for any website in the spam that provides images (may not be
>>the same host)
>>and the same for any 'sign off' website in the spam (again, may not be
>>the same host)
>>
>>The host will close the site, costing the spammer money (most webhosts
>>dont refund monies when closed for cause)
>>he may open new sites, if he spams for them, you close them as well.
>>
>>You can do this with programs that come with your computer system, or
>>you can employ such as Visual Route or NeoTrace that combine them
>>
>>It wont be automatic, you may have to do this for a week or two before
>>seeing results.  Within a month, generally, you will start to see
>>reductions in spam, keep it up, and in 3 months you will usually see a
>>quite massive reduction in spam. Keep it up and in 6 months or so, you
>>(or that account) will be virtually spam free.  It wont stop it
>>completely, but it will reduce it to a level far more manageable. I.e.
>>200 spam per day down to 3 or 4 per week (and if you continue to do it,
>>even that will in time come down)
