22 June 2010: For the past 4 days I have received a modest barrage of spam from domains Orange.fr and Orange.co.uk. I have reported these respectively to abuse@orange.fr and abuse@orange.co.uk. Finally, at 03:21:35 this morning I received an acknowledgment of just one of these reports from abuse@orange.fr, followed by additional spams and messages indicating that the abuse@orange.fr address has rejected my reports. I am saving the evidence as it arrives.
June 2010: TW Telecom of Littleton, Colorado has spammed me several times in the past few days under the heading "Focus Research". I've notified their abuse desk each time.

The domain CreateSend.com (contact: scottr@freshview.com) spams me regularly under the heading "Creative Breakthroughs Inc." (2075 West Big Beaver Road, Troy, MI 48084-3446, (248) 519-4000). Several of their spams have originated at addresses hosted by OrcsWeb, and lately they've been spamming from Rackspace.
The domain Artshop.com.br (contact: MARINES RODRIGUES MOREIRA, webmaster@artshopbrasil.com.br)
spams me regularly.
They have ignored my complaints.
Their ISP,
Telefonica.com.br, has likewise ignored my complaints.

Microsoft is an ideal host for spammers.
Through an extensive series of autoresponder messages, I've learned
that MSN, Hotmail, and Windows Live automatically refuse all spam
reports at the RFC-compliant abuse@... addresses, referring you to
a non-standard report_spam@... address, then automatically refuse
all spam reports at those addresses, claiming they can only recognize
spam originating in their domain if the full-headered spam is
returned to them as an attachment.
Finally, when it is sent as an attachment, their autoresponder
repeats the same complaint that they haven't received it as an attachment.
It's a merry-go-round that eventually ends with Microsoft's abuse and report_spam mailboxes
blocking YOU as the alleged spammer.
