I can’t see how that would work. 
It’d make a lot more sense to look at ways to make it harder for people to harvest the email addresses en masse, but either way I think you’re just going to waste everyone’s time with this. Every public email address I or any of the companies I’m involved with gets hit with spam. The only “fix” is to improve the spam filters and possibly pursue the spammers directly.

Subject: [members-discuss] Systematic RIPE DB abuse

[EXTERNAL EMAIL] Please use caution when opening attachments from unrecognised sources.

Dear RIPE NCC members,

I’d like to raise the topic of introducing and applying administrative anti-spam measures against RIPE NCC members who deliberately violate Article 4 of the RIPE Database Terms and Conditions.

RIPE NCC requires members to publish up-to-date contact email addresses in the RIPE DB. However, these publicly listed addresses are actively harvested and used for spam by IPv4 brokers and address traders, while RIPE NCC does not take any measures to protect members from this type of abuse.

This issue has been around since the IPv4 market appeared, and although it’s well known, at some point the RIPE NCC staff chose not to act against members who don’t follow the RIPE Database T&C.

My proposal is to freeze transfer operations for members who are repeatedly abusing the RIPE Database.

I’d be glad to hear your thoughts and discuss this further.
