[OM] List spammer busted

I got an email from an ISP saying that one of the people that spammed the OM
list had his account terminated. He apparently thought that if he spammed
from an address (maybe forged) on an ISP other than the one he has his
business on, he wouldn't lose the website. He was wrong. Most ISPs, if
someone uses their service in any connection with a spam, will cancel the
account. Spammers always have to have some connection with the real world, a
contact address etc. Their spamming addresses are forged or thowaways, but
you can often knock out their business mail account or web site.
