Re: [cobalt-users] ABUSE email refused

[Rik Thomas <rikt@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Which RFC are you referring to?  821 and 822 make no such mention of
abuse@  RFC 2142 says something to the effect that for network operations
communications that abuse is one email address that is typically used.

I would surely like to know the organization ignorant enough to block
an entire domain because abuse@ is not working. 

Measuring your standards I would hazzard a guess that over 80% of the net
would be blocked by you.  Hmmm.

This list is getting more and more like inet-access by the day.
