Dear (me),

Thank you for contacting the Web.com Abuse Department. We are committed to assisting people in taking action against fraudulent activity.

Although the domain name is registered through Register.com/Network Solutions/Web.com, the e-mail itself, which is separate from the domain name registration, is hosted elsewhere and we have no control over the website, e-mail or its content. Any issues regarding the content of the website or e-mail will need to be addressed directly to the owner of the site or to the e-mail-hosting provider who should be in a position to assist you with your concerns.

To determine the mail-hosting provider you can use a publicly available tool such as http:www.mxtoolbox.com this tool will provide you with the e-mail hosting provider of the domain name, which can then be compared to the
ARIN.net (http://www.arin.net) IP allocation database. This will give you the relevant information for the true e-mail hosting provider.
Kind Regards,

(person at web.com)
