I collect some spammer accountibng here; and I saw a lot of spam been sent from UUnet's, MCI's and Sprint's dialup addresses to some mail-relays. If someone want to get this collected spam messages, I can do it for him in near future. PS. Don't kill anyone, but investigate him and poisone him to the half-live state -:). It's the best idea I know... But I don't think it's the best place for the such discussions.

It's not problem for any spammer to bye 100 dialup accounts around USA, and use (legally) all this UUnet's, MCI's etc mail relays... > Constructive feedback would be greatly appreciated!
