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:
Unfortunately this seems very focused on reporting SPAM and other email related abuses. What I was looking for was a way to format a generic abuse report where the most important parts would be "type of abuse", "IP doing the abuse", "time the abuse occured" and "<free text field about what happened>" that could be used by end users. Creating a new MIME type precludes most end users from ever using it because their MUA won't support it. -- Mikael Abrahamsson email: swmike@swm.pp.se
