correction, now you know who to report it to... you didn't do a reverse DNS
to see who those IPs belonged to... the XO one is assigned to an entity
known as WorldWideScam.com... the other rDNS'd back to a standard attbi
client name...

my point is that you should always try to rDNS back the IP and see who the
domain is... then whois on both the domain AND the ip number... the domain
gets a complaint and the IP owner (the domain's upstream) gets a
complaint... this way, the upstream can stop them if necessary...
