Isn't there any simple way of determining who is the actual sender of

Sort of. But it requires cooperation of the other ISP and most of the
time they won't do it without a court order. I have tracked down some of
the users that had a virus that kept sending me lots of them and had the
ISP inform that user, but they never told me who it was.

Damn shame, that. Kinda surpasses the definition of simple. Too bad we can't
rethink this science and require a DNA on signatures. Yeah, that's it. And
then we can give John Ashcroft the authority to hunt them down and kill
them!

On second thought. . .
