Hushmail's domains are registered to some offshore company, though they get connectivity from NetNation in Calgary, AB. They don't seem to respond to abuse reports. NetNation at least responds, but won't give any contact info out for real people at HushMail. It would seem in this case the only action that is sure to work is to make a John Doe claim in a Canadian court, then file a subpoena against NetNation for Canadian business address of HushMail, and then subpoena HushMail's records. In Susan's case she's a short drive from Windsor, Ontario, and the court filings could be done in small claims court so the fees wouldn't exceed a couple hundred dollars. Since Hushmail offers free accounts the original offender can just sign up again under another anonymous ID and start the process all over. It would seem the offender has mocked not only myself and Susan, but the process for keeping unwanted posters off the list. At some point in the future it may become necessary to block whole domains from having posting privileges. -Ralph
