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...
