Hmm, which RFC is it that requires abuse?  The only requirement I'm
aware of is postmaster, and MANY sites out there break that and nobody
blocks them because of it.  AFAIK abuse is only a common practice kind
of thing (only in the last couple of years).

Who blocks people from disregarding 100% of the RFCs?

I doubt you could get cobalt.com blocked from much of anything because
of this.
