sprint's outage list

From: Dean Gaudet

Ya know, I really hate to do this.  But I've tried through all the
correct/expected channels.  But sprint won't remove me from their
outage list.

I've mailed [email protected] @sprintlink.net
@mercury.res.sprintlink.net, and they all claim I'm not a list member.

I've mailed postmaster, owner-outage, outage-owner, postout,
outage-request.  I even sent it to outage-outgoing, even though I knew
it wouldn't get through.

I've sent the request to the tech contact for sprint.net, which is the
same as the tech contact for the reverse DNS of a few of their nets,
and is the same as the address listed in their SOA records.  I sent it
to the tech contact for AS1239 ([email protected]).  I considered sending
it to all the mail contacts for MAINT-AS1239 (radb), but most of them
don't even appear to be sprint employees.

As you can see from the headers below, the message is delivered to
[email protected]  I've tried all of the above using that
as the envelope sender -- I'm not just some stupid luser that doesn't
understand this crap.

All to no avail.

So here I come, hoping to embarass some sprint employee to take me off
their damn list.  I'm sorry to waste the rest of your time.

Thanks
Dean
