"He not only found the spammer, he hacked into her PC. He got a screenshot of her forging his domain. And he went through it with a fine-tooth comb digging out all sorts of personal information, secrets and details of scams. He discovered that the spammer had accomplices so he did the same to them.

He then anonymously turned over all the information to the authorities and posted it on his site.

He even found a topless picture of the main spammer that she had stored on her hard drive. It's online too. "

Bless you.

From his website (excerpt):

May 24, 2000

In the first half of the year 2000, a spammer began forging my domain name in the return address and headers of her spam sends. The domain forging resulted in thousands of undeliverable emails flying back at my mail server, and the possible blocking of my domain by other mail server administrators. I countered by having the Internet account used to send the spam cancelled. For the spammer responsible this was warning shot number one.

The spammer came back on-line through another ISP and continued to forge my domain in her spam messages. I responded by having her second Internet account cancelled;. this was warning shot number two. The spammer came back on the Internet through an AOL dial-up and began forging my domain for a third time. Strike three - you're out.

Normally I am too busy to be bothered with the everyday activities of a small time huckster, but this one was beginning to piss me off. To top it off inexperienced anti-spammers were sending bitch mail to me for an offense I had nothing to do with. It was apparent that a slight deterrent was not going to be enough to alter this spammers behavior. It had become enough of an annoyance to warrant my attention....

It's a great story!
