Derek Balling, who set up the rfc-ignorant.org site, concluded
that RFC2142 requires every domain with an active mail service to
have an abuse address pointing to the proper place handling abuse
issues for that domain.
It seems excessive to me in a world where anybody and his cat
get a domain, but I report his view for completeness
( http://www.rfc-ignorant.org/ , Listing Policy: abuse).
