I agree with Hamish Stanaway in that you are unlikely to hear anything substantive from the ISP. That doesn't mean they are ignoring you, and it may mean that they are simply swamped with similar complaints.
Something else to remember is that sometimes, the "abuse@" address isn't *allowed* to tell you much more than a "your message has been received and will be dealt with". In our case, we're stuck with some fairly heavy rules about the disclosure of student information. The Buckley Amendment (http://www.cpsr.org/cpsr/privacy/ssn/ferpa.buckley.html) in particular - our legal counsel says that in general, (b)(1) means that we can't say anything more than "we'll look into it and take appropriate action", because the problem is almost always a student. We might have a little chat with them, or refer the matter to Judicial Affairs - in both cases, that's a "student record" and I can't tell you what happened unless you have a subpoena or similar. I *can* tell you that every single thing that shows up gets looked into and something appropriate is done about it.... -- Valdis Kletnieks Computer Systems Senior Engineer Virginia Tech
