Hi All,

you are completely right. This is not acceptable and I escalate this to my collegues who are in charge of this problem.

Kind Regards
Christian


I just wanted to make you all aware that whereas most networks require
any spam report to include the entire spam message, attempting to include
an actual spam sample in an abuse report sent to ORG-OG2-RIPE aka
plusserver.com results in an an undeliverable (5xx) bounce message
contain text like the following:

<abuse at plusserver.com>: host mx01.hornetsecurity.com[94.100.132.8] said: 554
    5.6.3 Your mail contains SPAM. To unblock visit
    http://cloud-security.net/unblock?REDACTED
    (in reply to end of DATA command)

Is is of course admirable that this network is able to accurately recognize
-inbound- spam messages so accurately.  It is rather a shame however that
this network is apparently incapable of doing likewise when it comes to
spam flowing outwards from their network.

For reference, the fully aggregated set of IPv4 CIDRs currently assigned to
this network within the RIPE region is as follows:
