Andre 1 - yes and no - you need access to an SMTP server. 2 - again - you need access to resources I agree however that the domain without anything attached to it can't do anything The resources need IPs.. Re: RIPE whois - if there are inaccuracies you can report them to RIPE.

You cannot send spam without an IP number. 2. You cannot do any abuse without an IP number. I can do a whois on any.com or some.eu and have a tech or abuse email address and WORKING registrar contact information. I cannot do a whois on ALL ripe assigned ipv4 resources and get accurate and/or working resource contact information. So, where the problem is - is easy to see, no?
