While on this topic, a not insignificant credit union has an SPF
record that lists the mail servers of their previous IT services
provider (I assume).  That obviously changed at some point and my mail
server now rejects all mail from their domain.

I tried reporting it to postmaster@ (bounced), hostmaster@ (bounced),
and then the technical contact in WHOIS, which went unanswered.  At
that point, I decided I had tried sufficiently to do my good deed for
the day and gave up.

Cheers, Ben
