Recommendations for ISPs

Are there detailed instructions for datacenters about how they should be creating abuse-c records? I've been in contact with a datacenter that has one generic abuse-c contact for their organization, but then each individual network has some remarks saying 'please contact this email address instead'. If you email their general abuse email, they tell you to check WHOIS and email the address in the comments. This completely breaks the RIPE abuse contact finder, as well as my scripts to automatically send abuse emails. They don't seem to see the problem with this, so I was hoping for some decent documentation I could show them about it. How should this generally be handled for network providers with lots of reassigned subnets? Am I right in believing this pretty much defeats the purpose of the abuse-c record?

2013-01 Policy Proposal Withdrawn (Openness about Policy Violations)
by Marco Schmidt 22 Nov '13

22 Nov '13

Dear colleagues, The proposal 2013-01, "Openness about Policy Violations" has been withdrawn. It is now archived and can be found at: https://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2013-01 Reason for withdrawal: After considering the objections raised when 2013-01 was first proposed, combined with the very low level of subsequent feedback, the proposers are of the opinion that consensus on this proposal is not likely to be reached. As a consequence, the proposers decided to withdraw the proposal. Regards Marco Schmidt Policy Development Office RIPE NCC

abuse-c + org / inetnum
by Gilles Massen 19 Oct '13

19 Oct '13

Dear WGs, In the light of the upcoming RIPE meeting I'd like to bring the problem of a single entity (organisation) wanting different abuse-c for different resources up again. The discussion starting in June (http://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/db-wg/2013-June/004079.html ) was rather open ended. Apparently the only workable solution at this point is to create a duplicate organisation object with a different abuse-c. Is data duplication really the solution that the WGs would like?

contradictory abuse contacts and some stats
by Frank Gadegast 17 Oct '13

17 Oct '13

Hi, we realize more and more networks having an abuse-c now, but also realize that most networks now have contradictory abuse email addresses spreaded in between new abuse contacts or old remarks or abuse-mailbox-fields. Might be a good idea to contact alls memmbers and LIR again to fix their records now ... Find some stats from our blacklist attached, it shows basically, that there is no big effort to be seen from spammers or spam friendly or ignorant LIRs to use the new abuse-c, the percentage of networks that are sending spam AND having an abuse-c contact is going up and down, but has not even reached 50% ... Pretty poor. Kind regards, Frank -- MOTD: "have you enabled SSL on a website or mailbox today ?" -- PHADE Software - PowerWeb http://www.powerweb.de Inh. Dipl.-Inform.

Call for feedback on 2013-01: Openness about Policy Violations
by Sander Steffann 17 Oct '13

17 Oct '13

Hello working group, We (the authors of 2013-01) are not sure how to continue with our policy proposal. To refresh your memories here is the summary of the proposal: > The RIPE NCC is the membership organisation that manages the shared public resources of IP addresses and Autonomous System Numbers in its service region. This proposal makes complaints about delegated resources more visible. It also specifies a separate list that documents all reclaimed resources. > > The goals are to provide more insight into the good stewardship of the RIPE NCC and to encourage assistance in stopping abuse of these shared public resources. > > This proposal explicitly does not set or change any policies about assignment, allocation or revocation of these resources. The latest version of the proposal hasn't received any feedback for the working group. Is this still something this working group wants, or should we withdraw the proposal? If you want this policy proposal to go forward: please speak up before the 17th of November If we receive no significant support then the authors will withdraw the policy proposal. Thank you, Sander Steffann Shane Kerr A.k.a. the authors of 2013-01

I also understand that some organisation may want to have different abuse contacts/roles defined for different IP blocks. One way on how this could be fixed, in my opinion, is by allowing an abuse-c role to be referenced in the inet*num object (but only if the inet*num object references an org that already has an abuse-c role referenced). In this case, the general abuse-c would be the one referenced in the org and the 'local' abuse-c would be the role referenced in the inet*num object. cheers, elvis

Yahoo Spamcop (spamcop@mailservices.yahoo.com)
by Reza Farzan 05 Sep '13

05 Sep '13

Hello All, Does anyone know what is going on at Yahoo, where Spammers can create e-mails without any impunity, and where all complaints submitted to Yahoo Spamcop (spamcop(a)mailservices.yahoo.com) all end up at Yahoo! Small Business [yahoosmb(a)cc.yahoo-inc.com]? Every Spam report that I send to Yahoo comes back with this automated response: * Thanks for contacting Yahoo!. Unfortunately, this address cannot accept direct reports of spam. If Yahoo Spamcop has become a meaningless source for complaining against Yahoo related Spammers, then where should one go to report such violations? As always, I welcome your comments and suggestions. Thank you, Reza Farzan rezaf(a)mindspring.com
