product lit spams
by Christian Kuhtz 11 Aug '98

11 Aug '98

Hello: I really do appreciate the helpful submissions of product literature. *BUT*, unless I explicitly request it (and I'm sure this isn't just true for me) I'd rather you not send me unsolicited product lit attachments. Size is one reason, and many of us are in a constant roaming/virtual office mode and do have a problem when we have to "quickly" POP megabyte after megabyte. Again, I am not saying that I don't want to hear from you guys, just a little bit more moderation would be good and considerate behavior as good netizens would be nice. Thank you. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.

He's baaaaaaack...

He's baaaaack... (FYI, I just got an autoresponder to learn more about his shady business. Pblt.) ----- Forwarded message from sanfordwallace(a)sanfordwallace.com ----- >From sanfordwallace(a)sanfordwallace.com Tue Aug 11 12:06:48 1998 From: sanfordwallace(a)sanfordwallace.com Message-Id: <199808111606.MAA04932(a)arpa.com> Subject: from Sanford Wallace to former customer Date: Tue, 11 Aug 1998 08:34:23 Hello there. This is Sanford Wallace, former president of Cyber Promotions. I am writing this email to you because you were the administrator of at least one cyberpromo (answerme) autoresponder. Unfortunately, cyberpromo went out of business last October. I had tried to do everything possible to keep the "empire" alive, but to no avail. I am *very* sorry for the big cyberpromo mess. It was never my intention to hurt or screw anyone. Hopefully, I will be able to fix many of my mistakes from the past. Well, I, Sanford Wallace, am on a comeback! But, NOT in the spam business! I have recently put up a popular web site, http://www.sanfordwallace.com The anti-spammers have been leaving it alone, because I have made a strong commitment to never spam again. (I hope that you dont see *this* email as a spam. I have an existing relationship will all of the people on this "list." And Im not selling anything, anyway.) But I do plan to offer many free services to small businesses, which will encourage people to advertise on the Internet - WITHOUT SPAMMING! This will be one way of paying back former customers AND netizens! I already have many different services in the works. You should visit my website often to keep tabs on the latest developments. In addition, I have created an extremely popular message board, where the anti-spammers and spammers fight it out :) http://www.sanfordwallace.com/wwwboard/wwwboard.html I would be very happy if you would post in that message board. I want people to see your opinion. On a final note, please feel free to reply to this message. I will read every email, and I plan to personally respond to each and every message. Thanks! And, may you have GREAT success with your business! P.S. If you have any suggestions about anything, please write me back. I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!

NANOG Channel Archives and Editorializing
by Eric Germann 11 Aug '98

11 Aug '98

Folks, I've received periodic requests from individuals who feel somehow slighted by posts contained in the NANOG archives. As you may or may not know, we host a MHonArc'd version of the list as a Searchable archive of web pages and an IE/NEtCaster Channel. A request came in today to remove a post that listed a number of hosts open for relaying. The individual asked me to remove the message so as to minimize the damage it causes the owners of the listed relays, including himself. Since these are generated from the flat archives at Merit, I'm loath to start editorializing. What do folks think? Should we edit the archives to remove "dangerous" information, or let them stand on their merits (no pun intended) and let the roaches scatter in the light? Respond privately unless you absolutely feel a need to start a discussion on it. I'll post the decision I come to on the list.

The Cidr Report
by Tony Bates 07 Aug '98

07 Aug '98

This is an auto-generated mail on Fri Aug 7 12:00:00 PDT 1998 It is not checked before it leaves my workstation. However, hopefully you will find this report interesting and will take the time to look through this to see if you can improve the amount of aggregation you perform. The report is split into sections: 0) General Status List the route table history for the last week, list any possibly bogus routes seen and give some status on ASes. 1) Gains by aggregating at the origin AS level This lists the "Top 30" players who if they decided to aggregate their announced classful prefixes at the origin AS level could make a significant difference in the reduction of the current size of the Internet routing table. This calculation does not take into account the inclusion of holes when forming an aggregate so it is possible even larger reduction should be possible. 2) Weekly Delta A summary of the last weeks changes in terms of withdrawn and added routes. Please note that this is only a snapshot but does give some indication of ASes participating in CIDR. Clearly, it is generally a good thing to see a large amont of withdrawls. 3) Interesting aggregates Interesting here means not an aggregate made as a set of classful routes. Thanks to xara.net for giving me access to their routing tables once a day. Please send any comments about this report directly to me.
