Providers don't seem to care about RFC or abuse@ anymore...
Belgium's biggest ISP (skynet.be) is rfc-ignorant as well. They have a
spamproblem (refuse to close down spammers, a lot of the dsl customers
have open relays or open proxies, no action whatsoever has been taken).
Because of this, they get huge amounts of complaints to abuse@skynet.be.
They couldn't handle it anymore, and redirected the senders to a webform
were you have to fillin you complaint.
They don't care about having a spamproblem, they don't care about being
rfc-ignorant, because they know that every isp in Belgium that does
spam-filtering, is whitelisting them because they are the biggest isp in
town...
