Good, I haven?t tested it, because I won?t "SPAM" you...

Actually, it's not broken - I do read that gets past the spam filtering, and it's rather presumptuous of them to state this:
"Contacts' listed email address (i.e.
domains.10.josh@spamgourmet.com) is at
a service that discards email unread (see
www.spamgourmet.com), hence can
not be used to make email contact and is not a valid POC.
"
That is not the statement of the voluntary rfc-ignorant-crew. That?s the statement of the reporting person. RFC-ignorant didn?t check domains. They collect reports of anybody, if the report looks like correct. They couldn?t do indeep investigations, because there are lots of reports and they are all voluntarys, like you. Anyway, this is a statement at the whois-blacklist and this blacklist isn?t relevant. Imho there is no need to fix this or to change your mailaddress in the whois dataset.

Should they sent testmails to every listed postmaster- and abusemailaddress, to be up to date? How often? If they would do so, they have to sent a huge amount of mails on regular basis and get themselves a "spammer". That?s not a solution. I think it?s a good idea to remove only on request of the responsible postmaster. That makes sure, that he knows about the RFC and wouldn?t remove the abuse- and postmasteraccounts again. Who has reported spamgourmet to rfc-ignorant? Maybe a "bad guy" while the DoS attack? He might probably be amused to handicap the spamgourmet-service somewhat via rfc-ignorants blacklists.
Please think again about your decision. Imho it?s a good idea to fill out the small form for a remove request at the postmaster- and abuseblacklist.
Thank you.
