Michele,

 

The proposal as written should cover this.  The requirement is for a working e-mail address that will accept messages -  not one that will direct you to a web site.

 

Regards,

 

Jeff

One question I have about this:

"Every organisation controlling an IP address should provide at least one
working contact e-mail address where notifications of abuse emanating from
that IP address can be sent."

Several ISPs maintain abuse email addresses, but when you submit abuse
reports to the supplied address they send an auto-responder forcing you to
resubmit the data via a web form.

What is the RIPE policy on this?

Surely ISPs should not be making it hard for users / admins etc., to report
abuse to them

Regards

Michele
