OK.  Here's my new code:

#!/bin/bash

while read LINE
do
   whois $LINE | grep 'abuse' &> /dev/null
   if [$? -ne 0]; then
      echo "$LINE" >> noabuse.txt
   fi
done < iplist

Here's the output:

michael@bullet ~/.maildir/.SPAM/cur $ ./process.sh
./process.sh: line 6: [1: command not found
./process.sh: line 6: [1: command not found
./process.sh: line 6: [1: command not found
