Don't get me started on OVH IP Space.
Aside from all the blocks delegated with no rwhois, hiding behind GDPR
as an excuse not to provide information on the operator..
Aside from known spammers where the domains are so obviously used for fraud.
Aside from the poor OVH abuse handling.
Just makes me sorry for those legitimate operators on their IP Space.
And of course, for those trying to make a difference, it gets real
frustrating when reporting bad actors has no impact.
But there are other moves afoot for companies like that. For instance,
in Canada, if the sources are OVH in Canada, and you don't get response
to abuse complaints, you can take it up with the CRTC, they are
particularly interested...
Remember, there are laws that implicate those that empower/enable
illegal activities as well.
But until something like class action law suits, or large government
fines, don't expect things to change. Life is short, sometimes the only
way companies pay attention, is when enough people stop accepting mail
from their IP space, and customers start talking with their feet.
But, yeah.. there are a lot of honest people still using their service.
However, even they appear not to be able to get much help from the abuse
teams..
Our daily spam auditor reports are always full of OVH IP(s) though, from
/30's to /24's
And of course, there is that 'oh, that is one of our resellers', as if
that absolves their reponsibility.

Is there any point in receiving any email from any OVH space,
since discussions on this list would seem to indicate they have
no functioning abuse enforcement?
Numerous netblocks registered to them like 51.77.44.64-51.77.44.127
described as "Failover IPs / Legacy" seem to be permanent spammer havens.
