Norm:
 
There is some information under Spam Primer at the 
bottom of the page.  Basically, one has to get the ISP address (format is 
xxx.yyy.zzz.qqq, but not always in groups of 3).  You will find them by 
clicking on the header of the message and then FILE|PROPERTIES\DETAIL.  
Then one puts those numbers into the IP Whois box and up pops the information 
about the ISP.  One wants the originating ISP, but when in doubt I checkout 
all of the ISP addresses.  Then send the complaint either to <A 
href="mailto:abuse@xxxxxxx/net";>abuse@xxxxxxx/net (send to all if not 
sure which is originating), or what I do is send everything to <A 
href="mailto:ISP.com/net@xxxxxxxxx";>ISP.com/net@xxxxxxxxx.  abuse.net 
is a spam fighting outfit that will forward the information to the proper 
party.  A copy should also be sent to the FTC.  The message that is 
forwarded by you is the one that you receive plus a copy of the full Detail page 
from the property box.  I find that the majority come from China, Hong 
Kong, Malaysia, and eastern Europe, and perhaps 3/4 of the ISPs do nothing, but 
some are very aggressive.  You can get more information from the anti-spam 
webpages, including: <A 
href="http://www.abuse.net/";>http://www.abuse.net/ and <A 
href="http://www.abuse.net/";>http://www.abuse.net/.

  Bill,
   
     Could you please further explain 
  your internet lingo below?  Which are the different fields etc? Perhaps 
  you could explain how to read those numbers? 
   
  Thanks,Norman

    Adam:
     
    Here is a freebie that works quite well.  
    Just pick up the 4 field number from the property listing for the address 
    field, plug it in and it will tell all:
     
    <A 
    href="http://combat.uxn.com/";>http://combat.uxn.com/

      Subject: [RT] Off Topic (Tracking 
      e-mail sources)
      
      Is there a way to track the source of 
      e-mails? I believe I may be targeted by an individual sending me a virus 
      and inserting a bogus return address and / or sender.
      This has happened many times and the last two 
      return address is from "clydelee <<A 
      href="mailto:clydelee@xxxxxxxxxx";>clydelee@xxxxxxxxxx>" and "ted 
      <ted@xxxxxxxxxxx>" but many 
      have been non deliverable addresses. I have the complete tracking details 
      of some of these attacks, but am unsure how to read them.
          Any help will be 
      appreciated,
              
      Adam
