So apply filters and controls.
Your NOC: Are you one of our customers or peers, sir/madam?
Caller : Uhm, no ...
Your NOC: Ah, I see. Then could I please have your registry handle for
route maintenance, and which registry that belongs to?
Accept peers, customers, or anyone who has clue sufficient to have a
registry handle, preferably one listed as a maintainer for one end of
whichever path they're complaining about.
Verification probably isn't needed, as by that point in the
conversation, the people who can't even configure their mail clients
will have been weeded out.
Clue filters. Gotta love 'em.
