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?
Do you really not tied of reading tons of spam (yes, super wise guys send spam right to abuse@! It is cool! ;) )? So sometime it is only way to be sure it is a human is sending that e-mail... I think we should see not on the form, but on the reaction for the abuse report. Also I think it is good idea to periodically check other contacts (fax, phone) provided in RIPE objects, as well as adding "pager:" contact information (ICQ,AIM,JABBER,etc). -- WBR, Max Tulyev (MT6561-RIPE, 2:463/253@FIDO)
