   A few minutes ago a UCE message came in from 84.20.228.175.

   Whois returned the following information (plus more, of course):

remarks:        ***********************************************
remarks:        * SPAM CONTACT: spam AT lj-kabel.si           *
remarks:        * USE IN CASE OF SPAM                         *
remarks:        ***********************************************

   I forwarded the message to spam at lj-kabel.si and soon received this bounce:

This is the mail system at host salmo.appl-ecosys.com.

I'm sorry to have to inform you that your message could not
be delivered to one or more recipients. It's attached below.

<spam at lj-kabel.si>: host mx1.voyager.si[213.143.80.36] said: 550 5.1.1 User
     unknown (in reply to RCPT TO command)

   Feh! I've no idea why ISPs bother to publish a non-existent reporting
username. Useless waste of time ... mine.
