[unisog] cornell.edu blog being used for spam - and now virginia.edu as well

[Frank Bulk]

Ok, 12 hours have passed since I contacted the security and abuse addresses
at a larger university regarding a spamming incident, with no response or
even confirmation.  

Is posting the school's name in unisog now fair game? ;)

To first approximation, universities are usually RFC 2142
compliant (meaning abuse, noc, and security at UNIVERSITY.edu
work).  If one does not want to navigate the (sometimes
confusing) maze of web pages that some universities bury
their contact information on, one can/should try the
"required" standard ones.  Works much more often than not.
