I'd also like to see a mandatory/multiple abuse-c field containing a rfc-valid email address.
Im not sure why it should be multiple? But I think most of us on this list can agree with you that a valid abuse email address associated with each inetnum in the database would be very welcome. From what I have seen so far I would need:
abuse: copyright.infringement@ourdomain // spam from some people abuse: system.attack@ourdomain // DoS, portscan .... abuse: spam@ourdomain abuse: legal@ourdomain // For cybersquatting, legal procedure
But I am not sure the problem is only technic I see it partly as a matter of usage : if we where behaving the same even putting the abuse in remarks, desc or whatever the field is, people would get used to it, and they would stop writing to all address.
Some of this discussion is moving away from strict databasey sort of things towards abuse reporting policy. Anyone interested in the latter may want to look at http://asrg.sp.am/subgroups/abuse_reports.shtml as well. Cheers, Steve
