Hello all,
If a cox.net mail admin, or someone who knows a cox.net mail admin could contact me offlist about them blocking 2mbit.com in their mail servers, that would be great. I've tried contacting their postmaster@cox.net with UNBLOCK in the subject, but it just bounces the mail back at me with the same error as if I was trying to contact one of their users. Sooo, you kinda see the issue.
Get used to it, a lot of mail servers are rejecting mail that comes from DSL and Cable modem lines, you're hosting 2mbit.com on roadrunner (despite calling it an 'RF T1' (??)) and thus, it will be blocked.

lets look at your website mister hallacy. [root@everest root]# host www.poptix.net www.poptix.net has address 24.72.12.135 hrm... 24/8... looks like a cablemodem to me, lets see [root@everest root]# whois 24.72.12.135 [Querying whois.arin.net] [whois.arin.net] Cable Regina CABLER (NET-24-72-0-0-1) 24.72.0.0 - 24.72.143.255 Access Communications - Regina Customer Network CUST-REGINA-1 (NET-24-72-2-0-1) 24.72.2.0 - 24.72.49.255 my my, we have a cablemodem. And using it with no other claim to any point in network administration, like say a blacklist which blocks over 1 million spam e-mails per day, or the largest and most complete RHSBL on the internet, or perhaps community/free web and e-mail hosting for anti-spammers? Mister Hallacy, do you in fact provide anything back to the community from whom you've consumed so much? But wait there's more! lets find out about that server... it's stats can be seen here: http://www.techmonkeys.org/phpSysInfo/ I hope he isn't running his website off the lexar jumpdrive :) http://www.techmonkeys.org/ which is the same ip as poptix.net [root@everest root]# host www.techmonkeys.org www.techmonkeys.org has address 24.72.12.135 But enough about technology, lets talk about poptix himself. Mister Hallacy or a kiddie associate, in response to my comment about #nanog being script kiddies, contacted a script kiddie via phone to harass him while impersonating a member of my staff, with the intent of having my network attacked. He has repeatedly harassed me via telephone, and his prank calls during DoS attacks(perhaps he was responsible for them?) are well documented on this list. http://www.merit.edu/mail.archives/nanog/2003-10/msg00719.html Mister Hallacy is a felon, convicted of computer tampering in 2000. He is serving 5 years probation. http://3jane.ashpool.org/~poptix/MyStory.html Look to the last section. and the rest of his actions documented here and above. And in regards to your certifications... real certifications come from Cisco and Novell, not a Cracker Jack box. I firmly assert that Matthew Hallacy provides no signal to this list. He does nothing but Denial of Service attack and harass it's members. He impersonates members of the list to harass other members of this list. THIS IS NOT A PLAYGROUND. I have sent Sue Harris 3 private e-mails in the last 48 hours, to which I have gotten no respone. I am now publically calling on Sue Harris to remove Matthew and his gang of script kiddies from #nanog from this list. Their behavior is deplorable. Their attitude is #damaging to this list, and their antics off the list towards members of this list are inexcusable and illegal. For the last time, harassment and impersonation of the users of this list, is not only ontopic, but the rapid knowledge and ability to deal with this situation is integral to it's continued success. -- Andrew D Kirch | Abusive Hosts Blocking List | www.ahbl.org Security Admin | Summit Open Source Development Group | www.sosdg.org Key At http://www.2mbit.com/~trelane/trelane.key Key fingerprint = B4C2 8083 648B 37A2 4CCE 61D3 16D6 995D 026F 20CF
