Email attack

I assume this is specific to somewhere.com--we seem to attract this
kind of thing.

We were under email attack (a message a second) addressed to
somebody () somewhere com (a non-existent address).  The attack went on
for several hours until I finally blocked the two sending machines at
my router.

Both machines were in Lithuania.

Name:    srvr1.telecom.lt
Address:  212.59.0.10

Name:    mx.nkm.lt
Address:  193.219.211.9

Neither was running an open mail relay, so I assume someone broke
into them.  I've contacted administrators for both machines, but have
(as usual) received no reply.

I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.
