Five spam posts from them today. :-(

I've got some nasty Spammer using my real address in their reply line.
How do I go about reporting that and will it do any good?

You don't and it's really not worth it. It's just your turn.

It's best for people not to expose their primary email address on
newsgroups anyway. I use a yahoo one and with one rule on it I never get
any spam. No password on subject line and the email gets deleted. Simple
but very effective.

To e-mail you must include the password FROG on the
subject line, or it will be automatically deleted
by a filter and not reach my inbox.

It might be worth checking that his firewall is actually doing its job,
as the long term measure.
There are sites for testing this, such as:

The results could be revealing. :-)

Yes, so have I, but I don't expect they will be repeated until next
year.

I was referring to newsgroup posts, not emails, I deal with private spam
in other ways.

Not really, as expected I'm running in full stealth mode.
Excellent site though and nice to know my firewall is doing it's job so
well.
