I downloaded the "abuse" program and have been sending in reports.
I've not kept real close track, but I remeber some being bounced back
to me for some reason. The rest I've heard nothing about. I wouls have
thoght I's receive at least a form letter thanking or cussing me for
sending the report. :)

While I can't say for sure that the reporting is the cause, IU seem to
be getting more spam than before.

I'll keep using the program for a while. Heck, if it kills one
spammer, it's good. :)
