[arin-ppml] ARIN IPs and Spammers?

[Bon Onlines]

Michael,

I recently got some spams from some IPs within an ISP( datacenter )
and contacted them regarding that, however their respond to me was
something like :

----------------------------------
We are unable to find DNSBL listings supporting that this client is a
spammer. In determining whether to deem a client a "spammer", we use
only the most well-respected and authoritative blacklists, such as
Spamhaus. Unfortunately, reputation-based websites like Senderbase
don't help in this determination, as they remove all the relevant
diagnostic information.

Our client has handled the very few abuse issues that they have
received in a prompt and concise manner.

If you find hard evidence that any of our clients are engaging in
spam, please send a report with as much detail as possible to us. We
strive for transparency in our abuse process, so we invite you to CC
Spamhaus on any reports that you send.

[...] does take spamming seriously and are not tolerant of any spam activities.
----------------------------------

However if I give you the ip addresses and  their as number you will
see that all the rdns records are something like garbage.garbage.com
and this is definetly used for spams. I am not sure if they are
keeping him for money ... More than 1K ip or even more. it might made
them more than 2-3K $ monthly ...

The more important from my end as an end user is that ARIN has to take
some actions for such companies and retrive their ip assignments.

I would like to hear from you all and also someone at ARIN about this matter.

Thanks
