I thought about simple web form available only for logged users of RIPE Atlas. In this way all private data are hidden and RIPE can rate limit usage of the form. Message itself can be send to probe's owner via email from RIPE Atlas infra so sender identity also can be hidden. If somebody wants to switch to email communication then form can also be used to exchange email addresses.

Some method to trigger a check could be added to the probe's profile, and there would not be ANY chance of email abuse by throwaway accounts? Allowing users to contact probe owners has to be VERY well made to avoid all sorts of attacks and spam!

Makes sense to me: +1. Would then a reminder every 1/2/3 month[s] make sense that this is (still) the case aka. this flag to be set? As the probe’s circumstances may change...

I don't think this will be abused and in case it would be easy to point out the spammers. Would this be useful also for other kind of messages? Paolo
