I just made a number of abuse complaints to a provider and then after contacting the abuse #. I got told that they don't use abuse@ anymore. that abuse.cc is the new email address. Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't this against RFC current practice?
Providers don't seem to care about RFC or abuse@ anymore... Belgium's biggest ISP (skynet.be) is rfc-ignorant as well. They have a spamproblem (refuse to close down spammers, a lot of the dsl customers have open relays or open proxies, no action whatsoever has been taken). Because of this, they get huge amounts of complaints to abuse () skynet be. They couldn't handle it anymore, and redirected the senders to a webform were you have to fillin you complaint. They don't care about having a spamproblem, they don't care about being rfc-ignorant, because they know that every isp in Belgium that does spam-filtering, is whitelisting them because they are the biggest isp in town...
