1. They needed to stop doing so a few decades ago. Anybody still doing it today is doing it on purpose, which of course leads directly to the question: why?
One reason as to "why" is that there is no good way to specify an alternate abuse@ address, where said alternate abuse address is on a completely different (sub)?domain, ala ruf/rua=. So then it becomes an issue of not filtering the base domain, which would be a massive headache for those who follow the 2 age-old smtp golden rules: -- "never accept email you can't deliver" -- "reject at connect, never bounce" 49% of folks would've said whois could have been a great place for an Abuse contact... and another 49% would say security.txt is the place. The end result is there is zero standard nor recommended way, imho. - -Jim P. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCgAdFiEEPxwe8uYBnqxkbORSJxVetMRaJwUFAlth2BMACgkQJxVetMRa JwVVvxAAjF5Nzd2NvilFWSJWc8Mo1Yl9rckNi4pMf0hdU3NbHBAq/Q1gbe/XfHu7 nMyHc0V9Puwm0eb1LPHldwVwjcxG8SRYAztjagUFEhnes1SyUq+c5UdG2pzkn03A SMgNFKiwLQdqhtnGsjpp9YFEGyrzHYIuBxzqSXTysXgg55nzxP1kQ/BEk2uKzhBO ///M8+cgFIsK+9SgYvYHh1dLTi+vK6PI79dUT6JNcK5imirbKORCwL/05rJp7PXx VG/0mBxWFcw1/5e2uDcu1eEhYboNH1QVf6O4a+HUS37HhJSayVC2AKr5rTm8/NWs YpvO4mZ0Sy/3o0tsZp1gahKRrlN5VZzbuKjuGVD71OY+Rwaxsga6YQJGajOUs8Rc 8D3rT7lC2c7V2xooOKF5FnOM8B7xJwbwb3M9IMWmsB7d2c+WvdBvzZGiO8Gzdah5 giiYh2ninyVQdJ8diIuQChJ/hpBakuXmtq+RIHWpEgfF//tUux/rCI1NG8DJbs73 UuwuQmQ7goOs43/FGEV+hoqAdKH7eY3/8MNFajoqEmvQSKWpUm+7nZtcaLxVDM+J K1uXYKv9Sy6ZHdQr2BPTNra2RlrhsTEKWZLp4/UVH/S+dEhK56zwKX1tM0DgDwtQ t1pBBC4+n+2PmeqIB+9VIF24D0dPsSTaDscsbWoey2enb0pGCEI= =MoLL -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
