> Dear Maintainer,
> I looked up an abuse address for 192.254.239.154 and found
> address@hidden  The mail bounced.  I thought I'd report invalid
> WHOIS data, but instead report this.  Because ARIN's web page returned a valid,
> different email address.  How come?

> My guess is that nowadays they use WhoisRWS, which, as I understand it, is RDAP

> This whishlist entry asks that jwhois makes RDAP queries and falls back to
> WHOIS for legacy servers only, so as to make the transition smooth.
> Alternatively, jwhois could stick to the WHOIS protocol; in this case an
> outstanding warning should appear in its man page.
