Earthlink accepts complaints at [email protected] or [email protected]. Fanhouse seems to have ignored an earlier request to stop mailing me. At this point I have mail from him blocked, so I don't know if he's tried replying since then.

Taboo, I hadn't thought of your possibility #4, identifying invalid mail contacts for domain hijacking. That's clever, although in this case I don't think that's his motive, as he's mailing about domains with REGISTRAR-LOCK active, and he'd only need to send out a single message to each email address for that purpose.

Chupachups, it's not just a misunderstanding; according to ICANN's new rules, the current registrar can no longer prevent transfer requests for unlocked domains unless the owner explicitly rejects them. Failure to reply is the same as approval. The replies you made were likely made to the gaining registrar, not the current registrar of the domains being transferred.
