Dealing with Abusive E-Mail?

sheetzam asks: "I am the manager of the mail system for a reasonable (3000 employees) sized media company. Recently a website has decided to post the e-mail addresses of a few of our employees, and suggest readers send those people abuse. We know we have no legal recourse for removing the e-mail addresses from the offending web site. We can't filter the abusive e-mail based on header information because it is coming from many places. Our only choice seems to be to change the person's e-mail address. If this were an abusive phone call, we'd know exactly how to handle it. But e-mail is quite different. How are others dealing with this?"

Re:A couple of things to try

How about The Washington Post?
Well, I've done some preliminary data mining.
Heres what I found.

The posters name is Anthony M Sheetz.
He lives in Washington DC.
He works for the Washington Post.
He also has the E-Mail address "sheetzam@washpost.com".
A whole lot of other stuff which I'm not going to post here(home address, phone number, etc... scary what you can find!)

Now for the site in question. Assuming the above information is correct, a search can be done for washington post employee E-Mail addresses. I could easily compile a much larger list of the actual E-Mail addresses from the information I got, but I'll try to make a guess at the site.

First site-I don't think this one is it:
TechBalt.com has "lists of email addresses and names of people who you need to email about our initiative to change Baltimore." This isn't exactly encouraging _abuse_ per say... But here is the list they published for the Washington Post:
The Washington Post
Jerry Knight- wtknight@washpost.com
Leslie Walker- walkerl@washpost.com
Yuki Noguchi- Noguchiy@washpost.com

A MUCH more likely site is http://www.vojvodina.com/mailovi.htm. They list:
abramowitz@washpost.com,achenbachj@washpost .com,ah rensf@washpost.com,adamsl@washpost.com,alexanderr@ washpost.com,andrewsn@washpost.com,argetsinge@wash post.com,babcockc@washpost.com,babingtonc@washpost .com,balzd@washpost.com,barkerk@washpost.com,bates j@washpost.com,behrp@washpost.com,bersellie@washpo st.com,beyersd@washpost.com,biskupic@washpost.com, blumj@washpost.com,book@washpost.com,boodmans@wash post.com,boothb@washpost.com,makinenj@washpost.com ,brindleyl@washpost.com,chandlerc@washpost.com

Thats MUCH bigger that the previous list!!! Thats only about half the list! Too bad the site's in some language Babelfish won't translate.

There are a whole lot of other sites too.
Can anyone here translate that site with the larger list? That might be the one, but I can't tell what its about.
