[anti-abuse-wg] Need policy to require abuse contacts to accept abuse reports

I thank Michele Neylon for replying.

> If you'd like to propose the policy then it would be discussed etc.,

Indeed the reason I suggested it was because I think it should be proposed, and Laurens Hoogendoorn, RIPE NCC IP resource analyst, suggested that I address this issue on this anti-abuse mailinglist.

I am an ordinary spam victim, not an ISP administrator and not even working for an ISP.  When a spam reaches my inbox instead of spambox, I try to report it to abuse contacts.  I do feel that ISPs who register fake abuse contacts should be blocked, but I can't do it myself.  I made my best suggestion.

> What Brian was trying to do was to help set your expectations.

Brian Nisbet successfully set my expectations.  No doubt about that.

If someone besides me cares, and if someone thinks RIPE NCC will care, please kindly proceed.  I've already given my best suggestion.


(By the way, I set Yahoo web mail to send plain text, but it still doesn't send plain text.  A few years ago I tried to persuade Yahoo's administrators to fix it, but I guess they don't see the problem -- because Yahoo web mail decodes its own encoding and displays it as plain text.  Sorry for the way my messages appear on this list, but I did my best.)

Yours sincerely,
Norman Diamond
