**[SIZE=3]Folks, be careful when you report spam[/SIZE]!**

I was getting spam mails via my website’s contact form. At first, I just deleted them, but then I started getting 5 to 10 a day, so I got fed up, did a whois on the domain they were promoting, found it was registered with verio and reported them.  
Verio asked me for more information:

> …we  
> cannot complete our investigation because your complaint does not  
> contain either the full headers of the offending message or the  
> complete body…  
> , so I forward the next X messages to them.

What happens next?  
**I get a mail from my host telling me my account is disabled because I spam!!**  
I simply can’t believe how stupid these folks are, in my report mail, I said I was getting the spam mails via MY website’s contact form, sent to MY mail adress, and because I include the headers showing MY domain as the origin, they put MY site down, I spam myself, right?

So for the time being, [eyezberg.com](http://eyezberg.com) is offline due to [verio.net](http://verio.net) being unable to read spam reports… be warned.
