Feedback on this issue.

My ISP has not extremely helpful on this issue. I got a "Report to spamcop"
response - Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. One born every minute. Luckily I am not
paying...

Also, my philosophy on an issue such as this: Never give up. Escalate.
(reminds me a bit of the frog and the stork)As such I stepped up the heat.

I started polling "security" newsgroups "that it is best not to be known on"
about the morality of taking down such a server based on the circumstances.
Complete with IP address. (I was sure this generated a lot attention from
undersirables) . Also made Bharti aware of these.

I dug around. Found the Indian IT act.

Based upon the above, combined with the fact that I had proof of which
addresses did in fact receive my mails, I requested my mails be forwarded to
the legal department. I mentioned and quoted the act, clean up costs etc etc
to which I am entitled.  I also happended to ask if "X". was still doing
their support, since this could hurt them.

After this mail, I have not received another worm. Persistence pays.

Since replies here mentioned bad/non-existent service: There are articles
floating about on the net about who is doing their support in which areas.

I think I hit a nerve when I mentioned "X".

Cheers
