[anti-abuse-wg] 2019-04 New Policy Proposal (Validation of "abuse-mailbox")

Hi All,

I'm not sure about the 6 month period (vs. 12 months), and probably some 
details can be improved in further versions, but i do support this 
proposal, which is clearly in the path of "anti-abuse".

My team has nearly sent out 6000 abuse reports (only about intrusion 
attempts and brute force attacks) since Jan 1st this year.
I've just checked, and only 2.5% bounced. 2018's bounces were around 4.5%.

Maybe when we start to send out (automated) abuse reports about spam, the 
percentage will increase. We also send messages, globally, so solving the 
issue only in RIPEland will have limited impact. I've read this is 
already under implementation in another region, and proposed in the 
remaining 3 -- great!

I also think some reference to the ARC (Assisted Registry Check) could be 
included in the proposal, and could work as a primary step well before 
going into other actions which can carry more impact.

Regards,
Carlos
