[gnso-ff-pdp-may08] Solutions - Trusted abuse reporting

[Marc Perkel <marc@xxxxxxxxxx>]

OK - this is sort of a raw idea - but I was thinking about having an 
abuse system that is sort of closed to trusted abuse reporters. That way 
the spammers can't spam the abuse reporting system. This closed system 
will be available for legit abuse reporting participants such as spam 
filtering companies (like myself), large email systems, or anyone who 
shows they are a trusted source for automated abuse reporting.
Each registrar would have a standard abuse email address something like 
domain-abuse@xxxxxxxxxxxx - but that email address will only accept 
email from members, so spammers can't spam it.
Membership will be controlled by a DNS based host list that counts on 
the Forward confirmed RDNS of the host, which can't be faked. For 
example, if we were in the list then it would accept email from 
*.junkemailfilter.com., or *.yahoo.com.
Registrars receiving this email might be able to automate it if everyone 
stuck to a standard like the ARF standard.
Anyhow - the idea here is a standard way of reporting for members only 
so that problems will get the attention of registrars quickly. If a 
registrar starts getting thousands of automated complaints from multiple 
trusted sources then that would be a good alert.
