To be fair to Paul's position there, the spam in question would be more
like mailbombing. If there were a significant public contact address for
the RBL team, don't you think that every vindictive spammer in existence
would forge it as their return address, mailbomb it, mailbomb it by proxy
from test autoresponders, put it on every address list, etc.? The ones
who are doing this out of spite more than to make money in particular.
I'd be very surprised if such an address stayed particularly useable for
long.
