I'm tired of blatantly uncaring administrations. it's also totally possible that in some cases the mailbox for abuse@ got moved behind some orgs other mail systems... This happened numerous times at $PREVIOUS_EMPLOYER. When moving around ~200k mailboxes 1 special unicorn often gets mishandled :(
we wouldn't find out until someone called in all complainy about how 'you never care about email... blah...' "Sure we care, but our mail-admin team sometimes breaks us, whoops!"
ascribing malice is often unhelpful... Also, of course it's your network you can balkanize from the rest of the internet as much as you please.
not so much malice as gross incompetence. running spamfilters on your abuse@ mailbox, really? that is, for those which actually have an abuse mailbox that doesn't bounce outright. -Dan
