Hello! Sorry for the slow response, I was away yesterday.

...

Have you tried complaining to:

% whois -h whois.abuse.net DTAG.DE abuse@t-ipnet.de (for dtag.de) sls.dk-cc@telekom.de (for dtag.de)

I reported it to abuse@nic.telekom.de the owner of the ip 62.157.174.118 I received the email from. After seeing this email, I also reported it to the two addresses you suggested.

...

If so, what did they say?

sls.dk-cc@telekom.de was accepted and then bounced by an exchange server. No word back yet from abuse@nic.telekom.de or abuse@t-ipnet.de

Jeff,

Send the bounce to update@abuse.net, which should get it deleted. (Note: Following their own guidelines - do *not* send the spam and edit the message to just show the bounce - they may even insist on a 5xx code instead of a 4xx - I just don't know). An abuse.net address that bounces is in my opinion a better sign that a company is ill-behaved than just abuse@ bouncing. Maybe I'll code some rules for the DNS interface to abuse.net (there is example Perl code at http://abuse.net/using.phtml).
