My question is: How do they deal with non-european entities who do not
have such legal impediments in their jurisdiction? Also what exact check
are they running? Do they verify the addresses and phone numbers at
all?I am pretty sure most Australian companies would fail to meet this
criteria (for example I just look at the Telstra -
https://www.telstra.com.au - website and I can't see where Australias
largest telecommunications operator fails this test, and I'd hate to
think of the number of Telstra customers that would fail to send email
to these mail servers (most of who would get belligerent at bounced
email). I know that I don't want to, and am not required to, provide
that information for any of my domains, or domains that I host for other
entities. 

This just highlights the problems with internet, and general IT, related
legislation/regulation. Another example of a problematic issue is a
requirement by the Australian government for anyone working on products
that use encryption to insert a backdoor that law enforcement can
activate if requested - a requirement that after legislated saw many
Australian companies offshore work.
