If somebody does not want to receive abuse reports or does not want to do something against abuse originating from his own resources or likes to receive them not via email or has whatever else reason, well, name it this-email-address-is-not-being-read@yourdomain.com or no-reply@example.com or send it to devnull …
I think you are arguing in favour of forcing people to tell a small lie about abuse reporting addresses to improve the completeness of the database. Database users then need to parse all e-mail addresses and work out which patterns should be ignored. I do not understand why you want reporters to be forced to do additional processing to reach a decision about whether it is worth attempting to send an abuse report. Can you please explain the benefit to abuse reporters?
Lots of resource holders are already doing the same, we keep a list of there email addresses, so we do not have to send them reports that will only fill our mail queue to bounce back. I can understand them and respect that others like to work things different and we do not send them reports anymore.
I do not want to encourage the development of more business logic like this. Regards, Leo Vegoda
