The best fight is through their providers.  I report them every chance i
get and I've just been notified today that three Spammers I had reported
early in the week have been canceled by their providers.

If they go somewhere else, I'll report them again, eventually these
Spammers will run out of places to hide.  It takes perserverance to get
rid of them....
