ripe whois -B

[gnarlymarley]

RIPE whois now requires a "-B" for to be able to get actual email abuse email addresses from it.

$ whois 91.219.88.121@whois.ripe.net

[whois.ripe.net]
% This is the RIPE Database query service.

% Information related to '91.219.88.0 - 91.219.91.255'

% Abuse contact for '91.219.88.0 - 91.219.91.255' is 'a.kazakov@ktstelecom.ru'

If for any reason that the local RIPE whois cache is bypassed, it would be good to see this option added as a possibility so we can have SpamCop see the automatically capture the proper abuse addresses.

If this does get looked at for implementation, then I would note that it appears AFRINIC is also doing this.  It might be wise to look at an automatic implementation that could work for any registrar if they turn this on.
