myedu.com abuse

All,

One of our professors has received an abusive e-mail via myedu.com, which is apparently a web site that allows students 
to rate
professors and classes.  It apparently works like this:  a student creates an account on myedu.com and rates the 
professor/class.
However, apparently the student can also use this myedu.com account to write an e-mail which is then anonymously sent 
to the
professor.  We have the headers and traced the e-mail back to myedu.com from the headers.  Before, I try to contact 
myedu.com, I was
wondering if anyone else has already done this and could give me an idea as to what to expect.
