Calling his provider is fine, but I would definitely mail-bomb him too just
for good measure.  BTW, if you know how to set up a killfile, you might
want to do so before mail-bombing the jerk, so that he can't retaliate.

I think I've only ever mail-bombed someone once (it was well-deserved), and
I _don't_ think this something people should do frivolously, but I think
it's absolutely 100% OK when it's called for.
