Warren,

I've got the same problem.  Fortunately I haven't been deluged in bounced
e-mails yet.  This spawn [#include Warren's description] of a spammer used
MY E-MAIL ADDRESS as the return and reply-to address for the spams.

For those of you who are reading this and are on the cc: abuse list: I 
formally demand that you take immediate action against your users/customers 
who are perpetrating this fraud and abuse.  I want you to immediately
discontinue any accounts or services that they have with your organization.
I demand that they cease & desist immediately the use of my e-mail address 
and domain name.  I furthermore demand that you disclose to me the identity 
of your customer who is perpetrating this fraud so I may initiate legal 
action against them.  Please read on for why you are on the cc: list for
this e-mail.

the spams' originating IP is: 200.196.1.16 (virtua-1-16.cwb.matrix.com.br)
the ISP is: matrix.com.br

They contain URLS to a web server in Hong Kong, under the .co.uk domain, as
follows (the actual web server URL was obfuscated in the spam):

the web site is: c1010.hudjheuhfnnvgxvbchnfhfujryyfgbch.co.uk [Can you believe that's for real?]
the site location is: Hong Kong
the domain registrar's location is: Hungary
the ISP is: iadvantage.net [whose ISP is hkt.net]
the DNS provider is: virtualdelivery.net
the domain registrar is: melbourneit.com.au

This is really aggravating, and completely unacceptable.  They were addressed
to @hotmail.com accounts, but with my return address.  They also used my domain
name as the "hostname" in the HELO when connecting to Hotmail's mail server.

Now, it's personal.

Any ideas or suggestions as to what I should do would be appreciated!  It
seems that the Colorado laws might not apply to me since my equipment wasn't
used in transmission or retransmission of these spams, and I only received the
spams as a result of the original spams bouncing back to my mailbox.

Thanks,
Jim
