+1.
I don't think this will be abused
Quite the opposite IMHO, understanding that the anticipated means of communication will be email and that the email address of a probe's host will be generic, eg. <ripe-atlas-probe-[number]@atlas.ripe.net>, redirecting all incoming emails to a final address. The redirection would be configured via the portal then.
and in case it would be easy to point out the spammers.
Maybe the NCC could and would operate a purpose specific spam catcher for the 3rd level domain 'atlas'. But after all I wouldn't really care as I am already running anti-spam measures anyway. YMMV though...
Would this be useful also for other kind of messages?
Like what? Best, -C.

Hi all!
From time to time I find probes which has incorrect country in their description. For example #10333 supposed to be in US but from my measurements it looks like it is somewhere nearby Amsterdam. If something has 10ms RTT to target in Amsterdam, has hops with `nl-ams14a-ri1-ae8-0.aorta.net <https://stat.ripe.net/nl-ams14a-ri1-ae8-0.aorta.net>` description and has ASN for LibertyGlobal then this probe is rather in Europe. It takes some time to resolve such issue via RIPE team so maybe we can get a form to send direct and short message to probe owner to let him/her know that something is wrong with his/her probe and we ask for verification. What do you think about that?
Regards,
Grzegorz
