How have you been notifying the sites?  

I have been keeping track of infected sited and wanted to attempt to let them
know that they were infected, but didn't know of a good way to do it.  I thought
about sending email to "webmaster@<ip>" but I don't want to deal with all of the
returned email for sites that didn't have a webmpaster alias setup.
