If it's in ARF format, set up an account and report it thru SpamCop would be my 
suggestion....

And if it's not in ARF format ... fix that first.

Aloha,
Michael.

Once in a blue moon I even receive _real_ thanks, from people who cleaned up 
their devices.  More often, tickets are closed with 0 man hours work.

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
