where to complain about spam:300 world first products...(fwd)

[Manvinder Singh]

Hello Mr. Yanega,

Please think twice before making any false allegations. Anybody can use
others SMTP server as a mule to pass junk-mail and you yourself has
written that (based on traceroute, which shows them going thru
magnadate.gip.net). This means that the mail is going thru their site and
has not originated from there. 
 
Mr. Peter Wilmot, the administrator of GIP.NET is the person whose is
highly against SPAM and has setup policies for anti-spam measures and I
strongly protest that you have blamed an innocent person and that you
retract your statement as this has caused him anguish for his name being
falsely spread by you.

Try to be more responsible in future.

Regards,
M.Singh

For other annoyed recipients of the latest spam, here's who apparently
gives them their e-mail access - Peter.Wilmot at GLOBALONE.NET, the
administrator of gip.net (my example follows):

I might add it would be nice to know WHO is selling the "spammable" list
that includes leps-l. Argh.
