Hello

We receive constantly spam with a sender address of handbag.com routed through
some servers from mail.uk.tiscali.com. A complain to the abuse address was
replied with the following :

> Dear Sir/Madam,
>
> Thank you for your mail regarding Advanced Fee Fraud (or 419 letters as they
> are known). We have checked our information and this mail does not appear to
> have originated from the Tiscali network. For this matter to be resolved,
> the ISP hosting the user responsible for this mail needs to be alerted. You
> will find information at the bottom of this Email detailing how to determine
> which is the relevant ISP, along with a method of locating the abuse address
> for that ISP.

Is this some new law in uk, that the provider is not responsible for submitting
spam? I can't believe that a major ISP these days can be the that stubborn.

Regards

Andreas
