Information from rfc-ignorant.org:

"""
RFC954 specifies that all hosts who can connect to "the DoD Internet"
and are capable of passing traffic should be listed in the whois server
(accessible via a standard TCP port, 43), complete with contact
information including network e-mail addresses. Over time, this has
mutated into an expectation that whois for the IP space would be
maintained by the appropriate RIR (Regional Internet Registry). It is
important to note that, at present, there is no "root" WHOIS server for
IP networks. It is basically up to the client to know to which RIR the
address to be looked up has been delegated (and should be queried for).
"""

Notice the part where it says "it's up to the client to know which RIR
the address to be looked up has been delageted".

Conectiva is not listed. Your antispam policy is fooling you.
