EasyStreet apparently outsources front-line MX duties to McAfee (dba 
MX Logic). Presumably, the mxlogic.net servers scan for spam and 
malware, then forward easystreet.com messages to a hidden primary mail 
server managed by EasyStreet itself.

I agree, however, that the abuse mailbox ought to be able to receive 
unobfuscated versions of, er, abusive content. Otherwise, the domain 
in question gives a strong impression of not really caring whether its 
networks participate in illegal or unsocial activities.
