This is called "spamming". More and more frequently, these days,
people are putting this sort of stuff on the net in the hopes of
making some money. Generally, the best thing to do is ignore it.
However, if you feel that you must take some action, then mail to
their postmaster. Include the entire message, including all of the
headers, such as path, etc., to allow the postmaster to more
accurately determine if it originated at their site, or was forged. Do
be careful in your wording, however: Some of these postings are forged
in the hope of causing a site to be flooded with hate mail.
For my site, scifi.squawk.com, my postmaster address would be
postmaster@scifi.squawk.com (me) or postmaster@squawk.com.
