I guess you were lucky then, the addresses we were smurfed from had no
related website, and the phone # on the whois was outdated.
When I finally did manage to get a hold of a network engineer they didnt
seem particularly interested in hearing about the problem. Hence it took
3 months of constant calling to get their smurf amps shut down.
And they *still* dont have a working abuse@ or postmaster@ which imho is
simpy irresponsible for such an organization. Someone should get sacked.
