They first sent to our abuse@ email an FBL formatted abuse report. This was about a single opt-in confirmation email that resulted to be unsolicited (probably part of a distributed subscription bombing, but was only a single email from our infrastructure). The email asked to simply ackknowledge the issue otherwise they could have blocked the IP. We did ack and we are sure no more emails have been sent to them, but the next day they sent a new copy of the same abuse report and this time the report said the IP was blacklisted. > They want me to acknowledge the report by going to > http://m.USGOabuse.net/_AbuseAck and ask for some strings.

I suggested that I did not find fair to send 2 *automated* emails to an abuse department, using noreply, asking for the abuse department to acknowledge the issue and saying contrasting/confusing things (we may block if the issue is not fixed => we blocked you anyway), expecially if the abuse to be reported is a single COI request and not a malware/virus/whatelse. Months after that episode I received another similar abuse report from them: I forwarded the report to our "FBL processing agent" but I didn't ack it, as I found it was a waste of time.
