Be glad, some roadrunner business customer is spewing a virus to tons of
people using my address in the from field. As a result I get all the bounces.
Now ya wanna get the kick in the nads?
abuse@rr.com bounces my reporting email because I run my own mail server
on a static IP (one I've had for over a year now) in DSLExtreme's residential
block. I call them to report it over the phone and get a recording telling me
to email it which promptly hangs up. There is no way on that number to get
a live human being. When I call the corporate office and get shuffled off to
a CCR in a different department he's able to contact them for me. I'm told to
use a free webmail account to send them the headers.... but not as an
attachment. Great, the headers are in the bounce so I cannot script pulling
them out easily. So fugg'em, 60k+ of messages in-line. Nope, the web form
pukes on that. :/
