Hi,

I am part of the peering team of an ISP, and we're getting a fair number of abuse reports through from what appears system to our peering queue (peering@domain), which isn't at all for abuse, and is basically clogging up our ticket queue and making things noticeably more difficult than strictly necessary. Obviously, I'm not terribly keen on giving out too many identifying details on a public forum (yes, I know admins can see my IP; it's more casual rubber-neckers I'm worried about).

I'm not entirely sure where you're getting peering@domain from, except possibly the RIPE 'route' object; it's clearly labelled as not an abuse email address in the database. I can't imagine it is only affecting us.

Any thoughts on this?

Edit: if this isn't actually your tool but another tool with the same name, my apologies! The abuse reports don't have a URL in them, so I had to use a bit of judicious Google-fu...

Purify looks up abuse contacts for domains in the following order...

- the Purify hendrickson software components online abuse database.
- abuse.net
- if Purify can not find valid abuse contacts in either of the above locations, then it will use the RIR contact information.

If you have a particular domain that you would like to have listed with specific abuse contacts, you can send it to me (jeff at hendricom dot com), and I will add it to our online abuse database.

Thanks for the reply - have emailed you more details.

I've updated our abuse contact database, thanks for the updates.
