What do you mean by 'addition of a reference to the rescue mailbox is inactive' ?
You should be able to add a rescue email address to your account by answering your security questions : About your Apple ID email addresses - Apple Support
Is that not working ?
If you mean that you've forgotten your answers to your questions and need to reset them and don't already have a verified rescue email address on your account then you will have to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset : Contact Apple for help with Apple ID account security
If your country isn't on that page then try this form to contact Support : https://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
When they've been reset you can then add a rescue email address (and verify it) for potential future use
Or if it's available in your country you could change to 2-step verification : Frequently asked questions about two-step verification for Apple ID
