Sorry for extending this major spam but the best way to take care
of a spam (If the headers arent forged) is to email the entire
post including the headers to either postmaster@<poster's domain> 
or root@<poster's domain> to get the poster's domain just chop
everything off the from: header up to the @ symbol. For example
this post is from me hotelca@cris.com to complain send an email
to postmaster@cris.com and if that doesn't work try root@cris.com.
Usually the spammer will get a warning and if enough people complain
his account may be canceled. Thank you for your support.
