According to my MCSE docs, you're never supposed to put an underscore or a
space into an NT server's name anyway, so this person is obviously brain
dead and needs to be hit with the clue stick.

Block their mail. :) I do so myself, with no handy error message that
explains the problem... 90% of the mails that comes from ms servers with
underscores or spaces in the name are spam anyway. Oh, and I agree, send
them to a web form.
