It's possible that the spam has to include explicit material (like photos) as opposed to linking to it, but this might be usable against some spammers. |

In this case, there is no traceroute!

Windows comes with a very useful utility called TRACERT.EXE. It is in the Windows directory. You can use it to trace a route from your server to the spammer's, and thus identify the spammer's service provider. This is very useful, since:
Example: TRACERT WWW.MMAILDIRECT.COMover a maximum of 30 hops: 1 *
* * Request
timed out.
Trace complete.
|
Example: TRACERT 205.238.206.150Tracing route to hot-live-sex.com [205.238.206.150]over a maximum of 30 hops: 1 *
* * Request
timed out.
Trace complete. You would forward the spam to epix.net. Note that, even if the spammer provides only an IP address, tracert will identify the domain. |

I have my digital camera with me. I'll take some pictures for you to look at. Hehe. I'm so bad today. Click here to see the pics I took for you bad boy. (The
following is all one line) http://678.595.375.77-wausdiux-mcxqg-qirsc.htm
Turns out that the site is http://00000000320.00000000223.0000000050.00000000160/
