Er, which RFC are you claiming requires them to have a server to receive mail? In any case I inquired of an acquaintance who works at Google and got this response to the question of "how do we report abuse": Web link: http://www.google.com/support/pages/bin/request.py with links there for spam, phishing, scumware, etc. Email links get too heavily spammed so the one contact address which has leaked gets a push-back mail to use the web form. All complaints are acted upon quickly but no individual replies are sent. Quickly here is in practice within one business day (but I don't believe that there's a formal commitment to this). Any evidence that a complaint has been ignored would be interesting to see; ultimately, "is the page still up?" is the check.
