I have postmaster () hiwaay net delivered to my mailbox (after procmailing
out the regular automated stuff).  We also have several people that
check the abuse () hiwaay net mailbox several times a day.  Last time I
even checked our mail log for anything that might have been misdirected
or filtered out.  No notification at all, multiple times now.
