Question mail bombs

Any advice on how to stop mail-bombs (40,000 a day) would be appreciated.

The best I can do is trace the origin back to the server, via DNS and short of asking the server admin to stop it, what else can be done?

As far as i'm aware, in the UK, it's not illegal to spam business mailboxes, only private ones.

If they cannot be stopped, assuming evidence is gathered against the suspected originator of the spam (only 99% sure at the mo), how would one go about giving a taste of his own medicine?


Option 3, hire 'a couple of hard pipe-hitting motherfcukers to go to work on his a$$ with a pair of pliers and a blowtorch'
