Spam Basics

Help! I've been Spammed! What do I do? A guide for the beginner, by Greg Byshenk, based in part on an original by Chris Lewis. Greg also maintains a fine page of additional net abuse resources.

You want to learn about serious SPAM? Read the Net-Abuse FAQ by Scott Southwick and J.D. Falk. A most excellent piece of work.

One of the best all 'round resources for spam fighting is Spam Killer Central.

How to Trace Spams, an article on the interpretation of header information, and links to InterNIC Whois and DNS Lookup. This site has lots of resources collected.

Don't miss the news.admin.net-abuse.* FAQs and other documents.
