Oh, I've got the FixFax thing too. Traced them, mailed abuse@012.net,
and it bounced back (what a surprise!).

Later on, I phoned 012.net and spent some 15 minutes explaining the
person on the other side (probably support's supervisor) why spam is
wrong. "So, go to your Outlook Express menu and add a filter" ...

I was thinking ISOC should take care of the ISP "education". Since ISPs
are interested in IIX peering etc., maybe ISOC should force
participating ISPs to have non-abuse-tolerant AUPs and active spam
departments? I emailed ISOC about this, but all Hank Nussbacher told
me was that there's also abuse@att.net.il (hey, that's the 3rd ISP
in Israel, after NetVision and Zahav).
I'm in no position to tell them what to do though :)
