Just what Im asking for years now for.

More easier would be an anonymous abuse contact wich could only
by emailed to from registered email addresses from other RIPE members.

So: every member would simply enter too email addresses and one
(or more) IPs into their basic data at the portal.

- one abuse contact
- one sender email address
- one or more IP address of the own sending mailservers

And the Mailserver at RIPE will e.g. redirected a general
as1234 at members.ripe.net
to the right abuse contact of that member.

And: RIPE could even monitor outbreaks to one or
the other member address to get an indication if
there is an eval or non-responsive member (e.g.
with not working mail addresses, full mailboxes aso).

RIPE NCC could also monitor if a member becomes
a bit to active or tries to flood other members.

Telephone numbers seem to spread, so they will
not be hidden after a while, but email is cool,
because the receiver could handle these emails
much quicker, because they could be more sure,
that its coming from qualified other members,
hopefully resulting in a much quicker action.

Just an example:
we filed a report at the usual abuse address
of a bigger server housing provider in Germany
arround 3 weeks ago , that one of their servers
seemed to be captured and started to guess
passwords on some of our POP3 servers.

Now: after 3 weeks, be received a note, that
our report will now be analysed.

Whats about all those spam, all those DDoS attacks,
pishing sites, whatever abuse, this server was
causing the last 3 weeks to others ?
And: just fiddled with our firewalls and can
see, that this server is still trying to attack us !


Kind regards, Frank
