well an address like abuse at do.main seldomly changes. If someone is dumb 
enough to put in a personal e-mail address, well...

Anyways, for cases like mergers ect. with Domains changing, i'd prefer 
the inital suggestion - using a *-c

I don't really see the problem with creating another role-object if needed.
Heck, i don't even see why mnt-irt: is considered too complicated :-)

==> It's 'abuse-c: <handle>' - not a 'abuse-to: <email>' (or something 
like that) for me
