Damn forms; whatever happened to abuse@ addresses?
A few years I proposed a standard way to report abuse by email (X-headers) but nobody was interested.
There's a (draft, de facto) standard format for automated reports between providers: http://mipassoc.org/arf/ http://tools.ietf.org/wg/marf/
I suspect forms are because the abuse desks want necessary information in a structured way that doesn't have to be manually processed each time, plus trying to hunt people who can't realise what information is needed to do a proper abuse complaint.
Yep, that's certainly part of it. -- J.D. Falk <jdfalk@returnpath.net> Return Path Inc
