They simply don't answer mail, often because the person in charge left for greener pastures, his account was not deleted, and nobody ever checks it. Quite often, the BITEARN NODES data is also outdated, and POSTMASTER either doesn't work or points to someone who doesn't answer mail. These are usually sites which are upgrading to the operating system of the 1990's soon and where the VM machine is left dying on an "as is" basis until some local condition allows it to be put out of pain.
