[anti-abuse-wg] 2010-08 New Policy Proposal (Abuse contact information)

I've been trying to follow this discussion over the last few days and am still a bit confused.


We use:

"descr:          Abuse Contact:  abuse at blacknight.ie"

And apart from the really dumb we don't have any issue getting abuse reports about our IP blocks .. 

The problem I'm seeing with this entire thing is:

1 - Lack of a clear definition of what exactly is being impacted in simple English
2 - How / why this is necessary

Responsive network operators are responsive
Unresponsive ones aren't going to change

Mandating a particular contact isn't going to change that .. so I'm having issues understanding what exactly people are hoping to achieve

On the privacy side of things - You should be careful which email address(es) you use when setting up / maintaining records. If you insist on using a "private' email address then you'll end up suffering anyway ... 

I still don't understand why people keep throwing in random comments about greylisting - I can't see what that has got to do with anything and as I already stated it's outside this group's remit to fix people's badly configured mail servers.

Regards

Michele
