Trout) fish@infidels.org ----(sample of my own abuse report, sans original email)---- [This message is being directed to all service providers (including upstream) of the abuser in question] To whom it may concern: Following my signature is a copy of an e-mail (with complete routing headers) sent to the www-talk e-mail list that I believe is in direct violation of w3.org's published acceptable use policy. According to <http://www.w3.org/Mail/Lists.html>, the www-talk e-mail discussion list is SUPPOSED to be for: "www-talk This is the primary public mailing list for technical discussion among those developing World Wide Web software. It is explicitly intended for the collaborative design of new systems, software, protocols, and documentation which may be useful to the WWW developer community. General questions from non-developers should go to the newsgroup, and topics relating to HTML should go to www-html." but as you can see, the e-mail below has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with technical discussion of any www software development issues. The w3.org policy regarding use of their e-mail discussion lists for distributing off-topic e-mail (i.e. Spam) can be found at <http://www.w3.org/Mail/Spam>. I would therefore request that you either inform your user/customer to either abide by the published policies for this discussion list and take whatever measures are necessary to prevent its reoccurrence, or else terminate the account in question for reasons of abuse. Thank you for your kind attention in this matter. Sincerely, "Fish" (David B. Trout) fish@infidels.org cc: abusive, off-topic e-mail (below). -----Original Message----- Received: from ...
