How to report Internet Abuse

[Technomage]

I would just use an IPTABLES firewall entry and block him before hit 
hits your webserver.
sending a message to abuse at .... doesn't hurt either (it establishes an 
electronic paper trail).

However, trying to get an admin at a foreign ISP (especially in a place 
where a lot of cybergangs are known to operate) to do anything about it 
is going to be difficult, at best.
