I just sent a letter to redshift.com concerning the recent spamming by spamboy (a 100k or so spam email bomb). Here is redshift's whois query:
Registrant: Nitelog, Inc. (REDSHIFT-DOM) PO Box 1668 Marina, CA 93933
Domain Name: REDSHIFT.COM
Administrative Contact, Technical Contact, Zone Contact: Lear, Karl Van (KVL) karl@REDSHIFT.COM 408/655-8710
Record last updated on 22-Dec-96. Record created on 16-Dec-94. Database last updated on 16-Jun-98 04:04:25 EDT.
Domain servers in listed order:
NS.REDSHIFT.COM 165.227.94.2 NS2.REDSHIFT.COM 165.227.94.4 NS.SCRUZ.NET 165.227.1.1
I wrote to postmaster and cc'd to abuse. The message that I got back is either serious, or is sarcasm, perhaps even spamboy himself... ? I'm not sure, but I thought I'd post it here to see what you all make of it.

As soon as we find the user we will disable his account and bill the account a few thousand dollars for spam clean-up.
