So, to be clear, it would be fully policy compliant if someone:
- registers IP address space with the RIPE NCC, with contact information point to a PO box in Panama or BVI. - sets up an abuse mailbox with an autoresponder, where all emails are thrown into the bin - ignores all attempts at contact regarding abuse queries, whether from LEAs or not
If this is the case, what problem is this proposal trying to solve?
#1 people who set the email address to nowhere@example.com #2 people who set the email address to nowhere@unregistereddomain.com #3 people who used to own unregistereddomain.com but forgot that email addresses are using that domain in a RIPE object #4 people whose company used to use abuse@brandA.com but have moved to abuse@brandB.com and now brandA.com is a black hole because the forwarding doesn't work on the new server #5 people whose mail system is just broken #6 people who host their email at Google think that Google will deliver email to an abuse desk even when that email contains bad URLs oops, I think the proposal doesn't cover #6 and should! because I see this on a regular basis Nevertheless, it's surely some improvement if RIPE detects when abuse contact details are unintentionally broken.... but testing once a year for that (rather than every couple of months) doesn't seem to be sufficiently often to me. - -- richard Richard Clayton Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.
