GBLX.NET - Looks like you've killed the alladvantage.com spammers! Thanks!
If you haven't, I can send you the original to the spam this user is
complaining about.

Usually that sort of thing just feeds the animals.
In particular, it tells the spammer you've got a valid address,
so you can be spammed with more spam.
It makes more sense to drop email to [EMAIL PROTECTED],
who will kill the account if they get enough complaints.
The more interesting problem is what to do about
http://www.alladvantage.com/
which is the spamhaus that this spammer and many others use.
You can send them a complaint, and they'll tell you they'll drop that
bad bad bad user's account, but I haven't seen any evidence they'll
stop doing promoting spammers, because that's their business.
On the other hand "tracert alladvantage.com" gets as far as gblx.net,
and then dies with "Destination Net Unreachable", so their hosting center has
probably done the right thing, or else they're being deservedly mailbombed.
You could call the person listed in the whois record on the phone...
