I honestly don't think that you're understanding me. So why don't you explain to me, in technical terms, exactly how you tracked this spammer down using email headers. And then I will explain to you, in technical terms, how all you did was close an open relay that spammers use to forward their messages through.

How hard is it? You look at an IP address source, do a whois, contact people - they verify crapola is flowing from said source. They kill said source. Simple enough for you?

And, before you pop off any more about closing open relays...I'm talking about instances where sysadmins verified that no open relays are/were involved.
