[anti-abuse-wg] ORG-TKDS1-RIPE - VECTRA S.A. - Spam filters & abuse reporting addresses

Based on my experience, if one is reporting spam to most typical
networks, the network operators generally like to actually -see-
the spam being reported.  Thus, I always include a copy.

It is Good that RIPE resource holders now all have abuse reporting
addresses in their WHOIS records.  It is also Good that RIPE NCC is
now checking these abuse reporting  contact email addresses to insure
that they actually function, at least minimally.

What is un-good, in my opinion, is for any network to have an abuse
reporting address set up with *content based* anti-spam filters.

To illustrate this point, I have recently received a spam from an
IP address that is currently being routed by AS29314 - Vectra S.A.,
located in Poland.  I duly forwarded a full copy of that spam to
the abuse reporting address provided in the RIPE WHOIS for AS29314,
i.e. abuse at vectra.pl.  That message was rejected with the following
SMTP reject message:

<abuse at vectra.pl>: host smtp.vectra.pl[88.156.64.22] said: 554 Spam. Email
    Session ID: 86748699 (in reply to end of DATA command)

Given that outcome, I now feel compelled to locally blacklist all IP
space associated with ORG-TKDS1-RIPE (VECTRA S.A.) until such time as
some kind soul provides the operators of this network with some education
on the topic of how to operate an abuse reporting address.

The space in question is as follows:
