[anti-abuse-wg] Anti-social assholes

The problem with the online form report abuse is that you can only submit 1
url at a time.

When you submit the url, then they will ask for more information. The same
as sending to abuse@

Once you submit the additional information, you usually do not hear
anything back from these cloud hosting providers and I rarely see anything
happen.

The "abuse" they are looking for is email spam generated from their servers
that do not follow the CAN-SPAM act. Any other type of "abuse" is not
"abuse" as the usual response is "Oh I found what your're talking about
i've fixed the problem".
