I usually get a reply saying they will look into it and deal with the culprit. which means they pull the plug on the so-and-so.

Good solution, when it works. I did that for weeks with my server. Now they (RoadRunner) label this crap for me. Very thoughtful. They send me, subject line: “[SPAM] Avocet, let Jennifer spank out your spooge”
