We already have abuse-c mailbox verification, *and* the NCC does approach
the LIRs to make sure the mailbox is working, if they encounter bounces
(by sending mail to LIR contacts, by sending letters, calling up, 
bringing it up in the next yearly ARC).

So a situation where a mailbox would be bouncing for 10+ years is 
unlikely to happen in RIPE land.
