So, why block it? 220 mnmai05.mn.mediaone.net ESMTP Sendmail 1.0/1.0; Mon, 11 Dec 2000 18:17:24 -0500 (EST) helo blah 250 mnmai05.mn.mediaone.net Hello claudius.cs.umn.edu [128.101.33.101], pleased to meet you mail from:sdier at cs.umn.edu 250 sdier at cs.umn.edu... Sender ok rcpt to:dieman at ringworld.org 550 dieman at ringworld.org... we do not relay mail--please check your mail before sending mail from outside of the MediaOne network. > 2. Failing to respond to ORBS to stop spammers. Did ORBS make a phone contact with Mediaone? Did they even attempt to get a response, or did they auto-spam all the addresses they could with their stupid automated scanner?</bias> > 3. Not submitting thier cable modems and dialups to DUNs. They only have cable modems. And non-submission is not a good reason for it. The maps DUL says that they do add DUL entries as they find out some block is a dialup/cm/etc. Really, we should block all DSL lines too. Only registered (hey, perhaps ARIN can charge for this) and properly certified smarthosts should be allowed on the internet.</sarcasm> > This has nothing to do with you, it has to do with your ISP. No, it all has to do with ORBS policy. > I want to make this very clear, ORBS does not single out inviduals, it singles > out IP addresses or blocks of IP addresses. Why dont they limit it to individual ARIN registrations, and not the whole shebang? -- Scott Dier <dieman at ringworld.org> #linuxos at irc.openprojects.net http://www.ringworld.org/ finger:dieman at destiny.ringworld.org "Kupo, kupkup, kupopo...
