[anti-abuse-wg] Verification of abuse contact addresses ?

Fi Shing,

I'm sure verifying the delivery of 70k e-mails (or however many is in 
the database) can be done in a few hours.

But Marco's response mentions to *correcting* the contact addresses, not 
just verifying them. That involves working with human beings, so it 
makes sense that it will take a while.

Cheers,
