Well, after 5 years of receiving spam i have decided that enough is enough!


Where are the best places to go to report spam? I would like to report all the unsolicited email i receive that have no way to remove me from their mailling lists.

Thanks :)

One place to start is to make the task of reporting easier.

There really isn't a 'definitive' place for reporting spammers - more often it's a case of checking the forged headers, figuring out the obsufucated URLs (http://samspade.org is a great place to quickly convert those http://4335576586542 URLs to correct IP addresses and then do a IP block lookup to report).
