[db-wg] abuse-mailbox

Hi,

I'm the author of the CyberAbuse whois, which is a tool that catches the 
"most suitable" abuse contact email for a specific IP/host by searching in 
the RIRs whois result. It's security and network abuse oriented... it's 
used in many CERTs or IRTs.

I understand there's a new (and long waited for) abuse-mailbox field that 
my program should catch in the RIPE db.
I'd like to know what would you recommend as the behavior for catching the 
"best possible" abuse-contact in the RIPE db.

Here is how the cyberabuse whois used to work (for RIPE) :
1 - search for an IRT object (mnt-irt), if one exist, go catch the 
associated e-mail
2 - search for an email in all the remarks/trouble/descr fields with the 
abuse/security/cert/csirt string in it
3 - search for the admin-c's email, if any
4 - search for the tech-c's, if any
5 - search for the first email found

I think I'm going to add a search for the abuse-mailbox field between (1) 
and (2).
Is this how you would do it ?
Any other comments/suggestions ?


Sincerely,
Philippe Bourcier
