Being spamcopped...I don't know how effective it is, but it makes me feel a
little better...
The resulting output from submitting auto-generated reports looks like this.

This is out put from the latest one I received via the debian lists...
The odd thing about this one in particular is that it originally shows it
being sent to debian-java (I am not a member of this list), then propagating
to me from debian-jr (a list of which I am a member).
I used this address because I want to avoid address mining by spammers
picking up my work email. That is also the reason why I didn't send a link
showing the detailed analysis that was done to come up with those addresses
to report to. All my header information is contained in it, and then some.

PS too bad we can't do a reverse look up on some of these guys and bill
them. Could probably find a loophole in the telemarketing laws or something
else that might marginally allow us to crawl whois and bill the offending
party's ISP on a technicality. At least that would help prompt some of the
questionable ones to actually do something about it.
I bet if we cut Qwest in on any possible recoveries, they'd all of a sudden
be all about coughing up some addresses to bill. I guess greed does have a
function, after all.
