I'm currently dealing with this from jetigroup.?rg. The registry information is invalid, the contact emails I found for the guy who ran the company at one time bounce back, but a weak password on a mailman install let someone create a distribution list that allows every recipient to post. They broke the unsubscribe part of the script, so nobody can get off the list. Until I made a rule to kill all mail from the domain, the flood of "remove me, I'm contacting the secretary of state" messages were simultaneously hilarious, annoying, and sad.


domainabuse@tucows.com, apac-domain.manager@endurance.com, ipadmin@websitewelcome.com, qkhldjwp@whoisprivacyprotect.com, ipadmin@publicdomainregistry.com, abuse@publicdomainregistry.com, cpanel@webhostbox.net


Thanks. I've already emailed most of these, but will try the others.


try abuse@pir.org, also.

Typically a registry will just fwd it on to the registrar. That said, registrars tend to take complaints from the registry more seriously imo.
