Quite the opposite IMHO, understanding that the anticipated means of
communication will be email and that the email address of a probe's host
will be generic, eg. <ripe-atlas-probe-[number]@atlas.ripe.net>,
redirecting all incoming emails to a final address. The redirection
would be configured via the portal then.

Maybe the NCC could and would operate a purpose specific spam catcher
for the 3rd level domain 'atlas'.
But after all I wouldn't really care as I am already running anti-spam
measures anyway.
YMMV though...
