What's wrong with the well-known abuse@ address? Or postmaster@?
If abuse@ bounces, I try postmaster@. If that bounces, I'm not
interested in receiving mail from that network.
Quoth RFC 5321:
"Any system that includes an SMTP server supporting mail relaying or
delivery MUST support the reserved mailbox "postmaster" as a case-
insensitive local name."
"SMTP systems are expected to make every reasonable effort to accept
mail directed to Postmaster from any other system on the Internet."
I find this list quite helpful in prodding ESPs out of band when abuse@
seems to be defective in some way. If abuse@ isn't so much 'defective'
as 'hopeless' ... tough?
