I get some unsolicited junk e-mail from a dedicated spamming site
connected to AlterNet.  So naturally, I try to mail [email protected]
suggesting that they do something about it.

[email protected] bounces; "550 <[email protected]>... User unknown".

So I use whois alter.net to find the technical contact to report the
problem:

- - -
   Administrative Contact, Technical Contact, Zone Contact:
      UUNET, AlterNet [Technical Support]  (OA12)  [email protected]
      +1 (800) 900-0241
- - -

I can't call 800 numbers outside the USA, so I send e-mail to
[email protected].  It bounces; "550 <[email protected]>... User unknown".

So I try [email protected] (listed in whois).  You've guessed it,
it bounces; "550 <[email protected]>... User unknown".

So I check the technical contact listed for uu.net.  It is -- you can
see where this is leading, can't you? -- [email protected], which bounces.

"Share and enjoy!"
