    Apparently some jerk has been using bunch of different ips sending spam messages to members of my forum promoting affiliates link.

    But after reviewing some of the messages i realized the first 10 messages he sent was actually when he was using the demo of the software since it had a demo message of the software from http://www.forumsmessenger.com first i thought they were using xrumer but my question is can you sue a company like http://www.forumsmessenger.com/ that sells spamming bots once you can prove people are using such softwares to spam your forums?

    I cant get the spammer it self since he uses different Ip whiles spamming

    I wouldn't have thought so, in the same way as you can't sue Smith & Wesson if one of their guns is used in a robbery. Your best bet is to improve security on the forum - new captcha, IQ question that sort of thing.
