[ Sorry for the list post, but the mailbox bounces for me ] I responded with bzs' direct email addr last week when this was posted and I receieved a bounce. Regardless, it's all off-topic for NANOG. I think spam-l would be a good place to carry this on, but as it's been pointed out over the last 14 days, it's a user and not the World's abuse desk so even Spam-L may not want to hear about it. If you still can't reach anyone, 617-739-0202 seems to be answered by clued (and awake) folks.

Really, it's worse than the spam we recieve because they CC everyone from the FTC to our upstreams and everyone in between and we are forced to respond to our upstreams.If a real person at The World wants someone who still worksat FVI thatthey can contact, I would happily provide them an address.However, inthe mean time, STOP SPAMMING ME ABOUT YOUR SPAM.Eric Brunner-Williams kindly tried to connect our abuse desk to a Mr. Barry Shein but it was to no avail. They failed to respond to anything we sent them to resolve the complaint and they continued to send the harshly worded emails to us and our upstreams. Some folks emailed me privately to suggest the emails are coming from one of their users but I believe this is not the case. Many more folks emailed offlist to share their frustration at this spam coming from The World. Sadly, there was no resolution to this issue, we simply closed the tickets on our end and have long since moved on to more productive matters. -david 1: http://www.merit.edu/mail.archives/nanog/msg03610.html ---------------------------------------------------- David A.
