Well, we disagree in the definition of abuse maybe?
You can find many definitions of this:
"Spamming is the abuse of electronic messaging systems to send
unsolicited bulk messages, which are generally undesired"
So, spam is abuse, and I don't need to know IPs to send spam. The
mail server will use DNS to find them.

Jordi

Asunto: Re: [anti-abuse-wg] GDPR - positive effects on email abuse
I am so happy that you are asking this question :)
This is what causes much confusion with people, including
experienced netadmins, sysadmins and many very technically advanced
people.
You can use any email address as an example:
anti-abuse-wg@ripe.net
Please think about it for a second:
How would you go about sending spam to this email address without
using an IP number?
It is not possible for Internet abuse to exist - without an IP
number.
So, for this wg : EVERYTHING that is abuse is powered by IP
numbers.
