It's a bunch of AOL proxies. I complained to abuse(a)aol.net and got an answer
(below) that suggested that I should complain to one of several other
addresses beginning with "tos" but gave me no clue that it actually tossed
the message at any of them.

Thank you for writing with your question, concern or comment! You are
receiving this automatically generated message to notify you of a change in
AOL's postmaster mailbox procedure.
We have implemented a subject scanning mechanism to aid your abuse reporting
efforts. If you include any of the following tags in the subject line of
your issue, your email will be auto-forwarded to the appropriate mailbox.
These tags are not case-sensitive.
Tags: massmail, spam, uce, ube, unsolicited, junk, email, e-mail
Will send your issue to "tosemail1(a)aol.com".com".
Tags: usenet, newsgroup
Will send your issue to "tosusenet(a)aol.com".com".
Tags: security, harassment
Will send your issue to "tosgeneral(a)aol.com".com".
Tag: web
Will send your issue to "tosweb(a)aol.com".com".
Tag: IRC
Will send your issue to "tosirc(a)aol.com".com".
The following mailboxes remain active, in the event you wish to continue
sending directly to the appropriate mailboxes, rather than send only to
"abuse(a)aol.com" or "abuse(a)aol.net".net".
** All unsolicited email complaints ("spam mail") should be sent to
"tosemail1(a)aol.com"
** All usenet/newsgroup abuse issues should be sent to "tosusenet(a)aol.com"
** All Internet security issues (hacking reports, mailbombs, denial of
service attacks, port scans etc.) should be sent with all log info to
TOSGeneral(a)aol.com
** All incidents of member harassment or threats should be sent to
"TOSGeneral(a)aol.com"
** All reports of AOL Web pages which do not comply with AOL's Terms of
Service should be forwarded to "TosWeb(a)aol.com"
** All reports of IRC abuse should be forwarded to "tosirc(a)aol.com"
** No IM abuse reports will be accepted via email. IM users (AOL
members/account holders) should use the "notify AOL" button found in the
bottom right corner of the IM window. AIM (the free AOL Instant Messenger
client) users should utilize the "block" and "warning" features found
at the
bottom of the AIM window to stop abuse.
Please visit the Postmaster FAQ at
http://hometown.aol.com/postmaster for:
** Questions about junk mail (abuse policy, reporting abuse, reading
headers, terms of service)
** Questions about sending mail to AOL (explanations of mailer-daemon
bounces, DNS errors, etc.)
** General questions about AOL's services (billing, access, technical
support)
** If you are experiencing network difficulties with AOL, or are
experiencing a denial of service attack for which AOL is responsible, please
find aol.com's ARIN or InterNIC registration and contact our Network
Operating Center.
As always, please be sure to include all pertinent header information; we can
not process email abuse/usenet abuse issues without full header information.
Thanks, and have a great day!
