Hi

I am sure all of you know of these guys. But what do you do when they keep
spamming your abuse address with reports for illegal downloads from
IP-addresses that are in no way related to our business?


fairly certian that nothing ip-echelon sends is ever valid...
or there's enough 'clearly you are joking' mail from them that anyone
who ends up in court for 'ip echelon violations' could simply subpeona
their isp for 'other complaints from ip echelon' and show the judge:
"Clearly these folk are on the good crack, case closed due to
reasonable doubt."

I tried contacting them. And was told repeatedly that I had to update whois
information if I want the reports to be sent to another address. How I do
that for IP-ranges that are not mine is a good question. Besides the whois
information for said IP-ranges already have valid abuse information and it
is not our email address.

Do I just block them for spamming?

Baldur
