Well, there should be enough information here to identify them.  If they
were in British jurisdiction, I think we could make a case for a
criminal prosecution under British law for unlawfully interfering with a
computer system.  

The website is hosted by Verio, Inc. in Colorado, USA, and the mail sent
through another US ISP: Cox Communications, Inc in California.  Is there
anything in US Federal or state law that would support a prosecution for
interfering with a computer, or maybe for criminal damage?  Or perhaps
we could email the spammer with a demand for compensation?
