I'd suggest a massive response (that is, many people, not one person
replying many times) to the postmaster address, or other WHOIS contacts
listed if postmaster is invalid (an RFC 822 violation, FWIW).

This practice is to be strongly discouraged.  As with a nuclear chain
reaction, it can rapidly get out of hand.

Peace.
