Yahoo has been blocked from sending us mail at one time, after
continuous spamruns *from their webinterface*. Mailing [EMAIL PROTECTED]
or all similar things you can think of did not work, not even when we
warned them we'd block them from mailing to several thousands of
domains.
Even getting on the phone did not help. We talked to real techies, got
called 'fuckheads' for *no* apparent reason whatsoever.
I do think we got some phonenumbers left. I'll talk to a coworker that
handles abuse (quite the BOFH :) and see if he got anything from that
incident.
