'This is Spam' button, and he can't find a way off the list.

Anyone got a pointer to Yahoo closed-loop stuff I can point him at?

Several people were nice enough to provide pointers and
encouragement... one of them may or may not have been who sent his
plight also to Slashdot, whuich appears to have shamed the responsible
department head out of his office.  Thanks.

On an unrelated topic: I may have discovered the
"nanog () nanog org,nanog () merit edu" problem's source:

I think it's the list.

I sent this message manually, typing in nanog () nanog org by hand as the
To address.

The reply-to is apparently *both* addresses, since that's what Mutt
picked up when I hit 'r'.
