IMHO, that's what the administrative contact is for.  It's his/her domain
and his/her responsibility.  If they don't like getting spam complaints
from people, then perhaps they should control their domain.  If that
dosen't work, then you address it with their upstream.  Adding more
entries to keep updated to whois is pointless.
