Once in a blue moon I even receive _real_ thanks, from people who cleaned up their devices.

Far better to set up a dedicated channel or access an API if possible. Nowadays, at long last, rdap for IP addresses is working well. Is there a better API? The trick should be for ISPs to forward complaints to their customers. Or, even better, register dedicated abuse addresses for each IP address user. I had succeeded to get an abuse-mailbox, before RIPE changed format. My old ISP meanwhile went out of business, and the new one don't bother. I never received a complaint forwarded by them. Damn'd sluggish, eh? Best Ale -- _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list mailop@mailop.org https://chilli.nosignal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mailop
