The only thing that works is hitting the malafactors directly. Regarding BLs: no one forces anyone to use them. They are used because recipients don't want to get trash. Those with a quiet moment who want to see a novel, amusing and detailed ventilation of this issue may take a look at <http://www.camblab.com/nugget/spam_03.pdf> (some details dated) and <http://www.camblab.com/misc/univ_std.txt> (work in progress) I'd welcome any comments.
