I'm not sure which is worse:
1) That they filter their abuse mailbox.
2) That they outsource their abuse mailbox (and potentially others) to Yahoo.
3) That they're doing (2) and they're apparently a few orders of magnitude
bigger than "Joe's Bait, Tackle, and Internet Emporium".
"And they wonder why we block their e-mail.." -- the NANOG lurker in the
next cubicle, standard response when a site's demonstrated configuration clue
level is so low to render constructive dialog improbable.
