Try pointing your newsbrowser to news.mynetwatchman.com and posting your
request there.  I believe that should get you a response.  I think they'll
appreciate knowing that their lookup process isn't working in this case.

I should mention, while www.mynetwatchman.com sends email to everyone about
abuse, they respond to none. I've gotten quite a few emails from them 
regarding attacks from an IP address that I no longer use. I changed ISPs
and the reverse DNS entry was never changed. Since the reverse DNS entry
pointed to my domain, mynetwatchman.com assumed that security@ my domain
was the correct place to send attack reports.

I've sent them many emails to correct this error (and flaw in their system)
but never recieved anything more than a useless automated response.
