Blogger.com posts still fails when posting to the NANOG list!
by Jeroen Massar 24 Oct '06

24 Oct '06

Hi, Apparently there is still some silly [f|s]oul who has to forward NANOG to blogger and blogger still doesn't handle multipart/signed and thus very nicely and totally anonymously reports that it fails. Thank you dear person who is forwarding his subscription to NANOG to his blogger account! This has been for over three months(*) now or something, clearly it is not annoying at all to the folks running the NANOG list and the person doing it clearly gets away with it. Could the blogger folks, who are seemingly uncontactable, please please please with sugar and strawbarries and whipcream on top include at least for what address this message is getting gatewayed for so that the subscription can be yanked from the NANOG list? Of course a full header trail would be even more useful. Google seems to say that this might be the one: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/nanog/users/ Dear NANOG listadmins, is there anything pointing in that direction? Simple way to find out who is the culprit: spam everybody on the list with a subject of their email address and when it bounces from blogger.com check the subject in the message and then use some very huge LART tool to get rid of it.

Earthlink people? -> 207.69.195.103
by S. Ryan 24 Oct '06

24 Oct '06

Any Earthlink mail admins around? This server -> 207.69.195.103 -> has been on SORBS for some time now and I can't get any response from normal channels at Earthlink. A lot of your customers end up using that outgoing mail server and anyone that uses SORBS obviously may be blocking them.. and your customers are frustrated as well as mine that can't receive mail due to your SORBS listing. Thank you, SR

Need help explaining in-addr.arpa to Limelight
by Tuc at T-B-O-H.NET 24 Oct '06

24 Oct '06

Hi, I seem to be having a problem. Limelight has SWIP'd 69.28.185.0/24 to me, and I asked for IN-ADDR.ARPA control. I recently went to check and it seemed not to be working right. I sent them an email around 11p Eastern Sunday nite asking it to be fixed. I even included a reference to a web page on how to delegate in-addr.arpa. I received the following back : "This is done, but you will need to rename the zone on your end to: tboh.185.28.69.in-addr.arpa." Is there someone out there that might be able to help me explain this to the techs there. That you can't "subdomain" an in-addr.arpa like you do a domain name? Thanks, Tuc/TBOH

RE: Collocation Access
by Frank Coluccio 24 Oct '06

Most list members here will probably find difficulty fathoming this, but during the Cold War years of the Nineteen Sixties, many telco employees, depending on the type of work they were engaged in, were actually issued government "Civil Defense" ID's for the purpose of gaining access to their workplaces and for transit to contingency assignments during natural disasters and acts of war. Long Lines staff and local operating company switching and transmission staff were given high priority in those days. I'm not sure exactly when, but I think the practice was suspended around 1968-9, or so. Do you suppose that telecoms and Internet is critical enough to the nation's infrastructure today that it should carry this level of regard by government? Say, qualified personnel working in critical sectors be issued "Homeland Security" ID's? Would such ID's issued by Homeland Security satisfy the clearance requirements for gaining access to collocation centers?

It's not like they can really tell whether either of them > are forged.) What I've never understood is, that, how a gov't issue ID (for the purposes of allowing entry) is of any use whatsoever. It's not as if someone is doing a instand background check to know if the person is a criminal, or wanted, or whatever. It's trivial to forge a gov't ID. -- Alex Rubenstein, AR97, K2AHR, alex(a)nac.net, latency, Al Reuben Net Access Corporation, 800-NET-ME-36, http://www.nac.net
