I haven't run a large usenet server in awhile, but, anyone asking for your phone number related to a usenet complaint has a whole lot of time on their hands.

Wait for Supernews to chime in.

I'm assisting in trying to deal with a group of flooders/trolls. One
remailer directs complaints to www.usenetabuse.com.  Does anyone know
if this is a legitimate anonymizer abuse desk, or phishing for
details of exploits?
