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 at 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...
