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 majordomo@sprint.net @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 (noc@sprint.net). 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 dgaudet-list-outage@arctic.org. 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.
