    "New" method to fight Spam
    
    "After realizing that all registrars are required to keep accurate 
    information, Mr. Murdock said he did a whois search on the domain of a 
    particularly offensive spammer. He sent e-mail to the registered owners 
    of the domain and when they bounced back, forwarded the information to 
    their registrar. Generally, domain holders are required to notify their 
    registrar of any address or information changes within 48 hours or risk 
    having their accounts frozen. The result? The account was frozen and the 
    domain is now inaccessible."

    If you have time... great way to stop spammers.  It's a heck of a lot 
    better than having to constantly update your filters.
