while this is not me you were refering to, i contacted privately Jo
on this matter - a customer, probably upset, decided to fire-up a
batch of misguided spam reports
while there is certainly outdated abuse info for some of our blocks,
in this particular case the subnet that was allocated to us has
up-to-date mail+phone info
and thanks to some posters further up the thread: the abuse mailbox
is indeed cabuse@tatacommunications.com
