Question:
Outside of spamming it, is there a way to report unwanted sexual solicitations?

I know how to spam an emaill, but people use different email addresses to bypass that feature. I would like to report them somehow. Predators like this need to be stopped before they reach children.

SPAM is out of control! Take a look at TQM Cubed.



Beside having spam filter and adding the sender to the Block Sender list, you can forward the SPAM to the FTC who will take it from there. Many federal agencies go after sickos that prey on children, but a lot of this crap is originated from out of the US and is next to impossible to track.

It is actually very hard to catch spammers because of the reason you mentioned above. The only way we can really get them is by thorough investigation by government and private organizations. I am sure you can help these organizations find spammers by reporting their alias/e-mail addresses, but I find it hard to beleive that a public citizen can bring them down alone.
