First: Anarchy is a feature of the internet. There is no central authority.
The only justice is vigilante justice. Check here for info about some of
the guys in white hats: www.mail-abuse.org.
Second: Responding to spam, even asking them to stop, confirms that they've
got a live one: a valid and active email address. Just like trolls: don't
feed them it only encourages them.
Best of luck...

<newsletter@infosdelared.com>, whose webmasters and postmasters ignore
appeals to stop sending spam in full colour magazine format, slowing down
my mail deliveries, for which, in Ireland, we have to pay by the minute for
dial-in, and in a language I cannot read -- Spanish -- so I couldn't have
subscribed to it, not even by accident.
Please bear with me while I ask a Standards question: is there no

absolutely no control on either the issuing of or the abuse of DOT-COM
addresses.
