Which is, to a certain extent, a requirement. But that's not the real issue, I don't mind people knowing my name, I just want a world where NOC and Abuse contacts aren't be spammed with sales pitches constantly.

Moderation Enabled on Members-Discuss/Subscription Information
by Fergal Cunningham 05 Sep '17

05 Sep '17

Dear colleagues, Due to the number of unsubscribe requests, we have temporarily enabled moderation on <members-discuss(a)ripe.net>. We will disable this once these emails cease. We will also make sure appropriate messages are put through to the list. If you are receiving these emails and you did not subscribe to the members-discuss list, it is possible that a colleague subscribed you or a role account/email alias that you use. Please check your LIR account settings: https://my.ripe.net/#/account-details For those of you who are unfamiliar with this mailing list, you can find more information below. Kind regards, Fergal Cunningham Membership Communications Officer RIPE NCC ***How to Unsubscribe*** To unsubscribe, log in to your LIR account and go to your account settings: https://my.ripe.net/#/account-details At the bottom of the page you will see "Subscribed Mailing Lists" - here you can add or remove email addresses. Subscription changes take up to an hour to be processed. What if you have never heard of RIPE, the RIPE NCC or LIR accounts? - The RIPE NCC is a Regional Internet Registry (RIR) that manages the system of IP addresses. The members-discuss mailing list is where our members discuss issues relating to their membership. - If you are receiving these emails, it means that your company is one of our members, and someone in your IT or network engineering department has likely subscribed your email address to our mailing list. - It may be that an email alias (e.g. hostmaster(a)yourcompany.com or customerservices(a)yourcompany.com) was used to subscribe to this list. Emails to this alias may then be forwarded to a number of different email accounts within your organisation. We have no control over this. - Unfortunately, we are unable to unsubscribe you ourselves, because this would involve accessing your member account. - If you have never heard of the RIPE NCC and are unable to log into LIR account, you may want to talk with your IT or network engineering department. They will likely have login details needed to change the email account that is used to subscribe to the mailing list. You can also email <ncc(a)ripe.net> and we can help you access your account. Further questions? We are happy to discuss this further, but please do not email <members-discuss(a)ripe.net>. Instead, please email <ncc(a)ripe.net>.

Hi Bill, Glad to see that you have resolved the issue, something that might be worth looking into for the future might be implementing RPKI for your resources.
