I'm getting these too, because whoever it is has been a bit too clever 
for his own good.

Like - the ARIN contact for a netblock is foo () email com, where email.com 
is a freemail service that we run.

This genius at uunet takes the foo () email com, determines that email.com 
admins can be best reached at postmaster () email com, and sends us reports 
about an IP that we have zero control over.

Totally dumb, of course ... but luckily not at the sort of volume that 
is generated by zone alarm type GWF [1] software.
