For a good number of years I have made a serious effort to report SPAM, in fact I have built and published a handy-dandy SPAM reporting tool for Windows - see my tag line. Over the years I have consistently found that of all the databases RIPE is the one with by far the fewest entries with a proper e-mail address for reporting SPAM. Can anyone give me some reasons for this and even more importantly what I can do or whom to address to get something done about it?
