Traceroute is a UNIX tool (there are versions for other OSes) for determining the path that your data packets take from one system to another. In the case where a spammer has their own domain, you can use it to determine who their ISP is and complain to them directly.

The synopsis of the traceroute command on UNIX is:

traceroute <hostname>

For example:

Code:

$ traceroute hostonnet.com

Most operating systems, including Win 3.x, Win95, and WinNT, have a traceroute tool. On Windows systems, open a DOS session and use the command

Code:

tracert <hostname>

Web Based Tracerouting

Point your web browser to http://www.traceroute.org for a list of traceroute servers you can use.
