[Asrg] Can we improve how spam gets *reported*?

2003-04-16 17:43:51
Never mind detecting it. Is there any way we could improve reporting it? Finding out who is responsible (and who will listen) to a particular spam problem seems to be getting increasingly difficult. And manning an abuse desk can't be a picnic either. Is there any way this process could be improved? Both in terms of ease of tracking down IP owners (or the first responsible level in a traceroute), and in terms of making it easy for people to give them exactly what they need to stop the problem?

FWIW. This came about because I was just trying to to track down the owners of the following Axis video cameras:
   2880 194.100.84.20
    812 65.163.44.254
    957 65.214.234.104
   9265 65.77.108.53
   1096 66.123.176.206
    827 80.36.76.101
   9399 sld.clitower.com
The number on the left is the number of messages sent by the camera to somewhere.com in the past 24 hours. (Yes, Axis promises that in the future they won't do something stupid like make that the default destination address for emailed pictures.)

Anyone want some security pictures? Last time I turned on the account I got some nice pictures suitable for anyone who wanted to case a jewelry store in New York City.

I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.
