In our experience contacting the people running the business running the
open relay did wonders for all concerned.
We didn't talk to the tecchies - they after all were the morons who
didn't know what they were doing by setting up the open relay in the
first place - but the business directors, who were very interested to
learn that their admins were incompetant and their mailservers were
blacklisted on the internet.
The open relays were usually fixed shortly after that.
