Report SPAM
Linkline does it's best
to filter SPAM e-mail, and we use mailabuse.org as well
to help us complete this task. However, NOT all SPAM can
be stopped unfortunately. In the case that you do
receive any SPAM mail, you can try using their
unsubscribe option to unsubscribe from that list. If
that e-mail is not valid, or the option is not
available, then you can try to e-mail the postmasters of
the machines they came from.
Many unsolicited
commercial emails (UCE) generated are sent with false
return addresses and manipulated headers. When sending
information about UCE's, it is best to forward the UCE
without additional comments.
Remember to include the
FULL header and FULL text of the message. The header
information is required to determine the message origin.
If your software displays a condensed header, please
check the HELP files for assistance in viewing the full
header.

We don't officially endorse them, but the site has a
good amount of useful information about SPAM, and how to
report it properly.
Some suggestions to reduce the amount of spam you receive:
DO:
- Remove yourself from any unprotected member directory.
- Open another e-mail account that you can use as an
address for newsgroup and list serve publications or for posting
on
bulletin boards.
DO NOT:
- Post to an online service or any Internet bulletin
board.
- Post in a Usenet newsgroup or mailing list.
- Spend time in chat rooms or an online service that
displays your address.
- Include yourself in an unprotected member directory of
an online service.
- Reply to unsolicited e-mail messages with a
"remove"
request because this only validates to the sender that
your address is current.
