Yeah, this sort of bullshit is illegal in some states that require ads 
to carry legitimate return addresses. But take a look at their SOA record:

# dig -t mx mx2.netpussies.com

; <<>> DiG 9.2.1 <<>> -t mx mx2.netpussies.com

;; QUESTION SECTION:
;mx2.netpussies.com.            IN      MX

;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
netpussies.com.         10800   IN      SOA     ns1.techhosting.net. 
dns.techhosting.net. 2001011100 43200 7200 604800 43200

So we see, they're being hosted by ns1.techhosting.net. That's where to 
go to get these folks cut off, at least in the short term.
