I've decided bitching to the ISP is ineffective. Truth be told, the most
effective spam-reduction effort, gunshots to the heads of spammers,
realisticaly isn't an option. So, I'll settle for increasing the blocking
it at the server. For every spam I block at the server, 1 gets through.

SpamCop isn't doing anything for me that I can't do myself.
