Is it abuse@domain or spam@domain or support@domain or postmaster@domain (very commonly used) or ???@domain. Who cares? But let's pick ONE, stuff it in an RFC or BCP and try to get each other to conform to it.
abuse@domain is *already* specified (in RFC 2142).Granted, separating reports of email abuse from those for other forms of abuse might be useful for large providers, but since we can't even get many domains even to set up the already-specified abuse@ address, much less read the mail we send to it, I'm not convinced that it would help. OTOH, many email providers seem to think it's my job to know what their internal organization is and re-route email to some spam-specific email reporting address. While that is just rude and ignorant behavior in my book, at least having a single standardized address would be an improvement...
