First, it would probably be helpful to read at the information for spam victims. Go do that now, then come back.
The publicly available proxypot reports are somewhat redacted, for at least 2 good reasons:
If you need even more information, like the raw, unprocessed logs of a particular incident, or if you want someone to testify on the truthfulness of the proxypot reports, contact the proxypot operator (whose name will hopefully be on the main page of the report). If that fails, or if you need an expert witness to interpret the facts, contact me. I wrote the thing.
Please, prosecute these people. Every open proxy spammer is guilty of more than spam. They are breaking into vulnerable computers. That's what used to be vulgarly referred to as "hacking", and it's been illegal for a long time. You don't need the CAN-SPAM act or any other new legislation. Breaking into vulnerable proxy servers should be prosecuted regardless of whether not it was done for the purpose of sending spam. Get 'em! And sentence them hard. Sentence them like Mitnick. We need to see some heads on pikes to stop this mess.
