How can I track down a spammer?

The information necessary to find the spammer :) .

The username or the php program or both. I just need a bit of help in creating the addition to the logging section of exim.conf; I've been too busy to do the research myself.

Thanks.

You're right floyd. I just need to know what piece of code to insert into the logging section so we can find the program running the spamcode. Any ideas, anyone?

Jeff I guess what some of us want to know is why do you want to add that information to the log when that information is available in the headers of the spam itself when somebody reports it. The information you would put in the log file is not going to be useful unless we know that it is spam. We are not going to know if its spam unless somebody reports it. When they report it they send all the information we need. We don't need to look in the log anymore. I just got a report today. I looked the headers of the spam and saw the sending ip/hostname and the domain and script that generated the spam. I didn't need to look at the log at all.
 
Because having it in the logs will help us if we want to write a log-parsing system to (for example) count emails from a specific program. If we note many emails from one program in a very short period of time, we'd know it could be spam long before it was reported.

I'd like that.
