Speaking of NeuLevel, I believe the problems with .biz domains and incorrect registration data are more general in nature than just this one example, a point I attempt to make in an invited guest commentary for Syllabus.com: "The Curious Correlation Between .biz Domains, Bad Whois Data, and Spam" http://www.syllabus.com/news_article.asp?id=9618&typeid=153 And as noted in the NeuLevel quote in that article, if you've got a problem with a particular .biz domain registration, you really need to get that problem fixed by the particular .biz registrar who did that domain's registration.

With a box like the Adtran Atlas you'd be able to give them the PRI's and hand the rest off as a DS-3 or HSSI. -Dave -----Original Message----- From: owner-nanog(a)merit.edu [mailto:owner-nanog@merit.edu] On Behalf Of Drew Weaver Sent: Thursday, December 11, 2003 11:59 AM To: 'nanog(a)merit.edu' Subject: DS3 questions.

Anyone from NeuLeve.bizl listening?
by Drew Linsalata 11 Dec '03

11 Dec '03

Given that there are no phone numbers anywhere on the NeuLevel (.biz registrar) site and email to support(a)neulevel.biz is going unanswered, I'll ask here. If anyone has real contact info for these folks, or anyone from NeuLevel is listening, please drop me a note off-list. A cracker/spammer has decided to list one of our customer servers as a secondary nameserver for a bunch of spam domains and we're getting hammered with spam complaints that really have nothing to with us.

Whitelisting mechanism in SORBS.
by Matthew Sullivan 10 Dec '03

10 Dec '03

Hi All, My appologies for the public post, I'd have rather replied to the individuals who mailed me in response of a previous post, however time has passed and I have a huge inbox, and of course I would like to solicit more entries from those interested and just waiting to see what it is. The whitelisting system previously discussed is now nearly complete..... The database and administration interface are indeed complete. I am therefore inviting those who wanted to whitelist to submit the following information to me off list: - ISP Name. - Email address of primary ISP/company contact incase of issues (bounced alerts for your company will go here along with any communication from SORBS). - Out facing IP addresses of your outgoing mailservers (last hop in the headers). - Netblocks you wish to receive reports/alerts for. (Plain text CIDR format list Minimum /32 maximum /8) - A list of email addresses where you wish the alerts to go to. The system works as follows: For the mailservers: When spam is received at a spamtrap (automated and/or manual) you will have your server listed with a 1 hour TTL, you will be sent a coded URL to the nominated alert email addresses. Using that coded URL you can delist your server immediately from the SORBS spam DB (no fine etc). The coded URL will timeout after 48 hours, if you have not used the URL by this time you will not be able to automatically remove yourself and the listing TTL will revert to the default (6 hours for an automated listings and 48 hours for a manual listings). You will receive no more than 1 URL per hour per IP address. The full headers (minus desitination email addresses of all spams received relating to a particular URL) will be available using the coded URL. Using the URLs to view the headers will not acknowledge the termination of the spammer - there is an extra step similar to that in spamcop. Each whitehat entry has a 'whiteness' value - each expired URL will make your whiteness decrease by 1, each time you use a valid URL it will go up 1. If further spam is received from an address to an automated spamtrap within 1 hour *after* you have used the URL, and acknowledged termination, for that IP your whiteness will decrease by 5. Using the URL and acknowledgement indicates you have identified and stopped the flow of spam, if you choose to delist yourself before you stop the flow that is considered not whitehat - hence the peanlty when you get caught (mail queuing in our system has been thought of and taken care of). You can get a maximum whiteness of 9 and a minimum of -9, for anything below 1 (ie -8 through 0 inclusive) you will be treated as not whitehat and will still get keys and be subject to normal TTLs (6 & 48). If you get to -9 you will be considered blackhat and removed from the system. For the network lists: Same principles as the mailserver IP however URLs will expire after 7 days, and TTLs are 6 hours by default. Anyone caught listwashing will be removed. Minimum entry is owning your own /24 (as found in public whois ;-)) Initial 'whiteness' will be 3. Note: The whitelist/whitehat system is completely independant of the ISP reporting system which will provide weekly reports to ISPs/companies requesting them. Yours Matthew

Indeed; I like the "economy of ideas" concept myself and in this case it might be the only valid initial approach, see below. > It gives us a chance to see a prototype of > something that could be either incorporated > into ARIN or commercialized in the future. Exactly. Besides, if ARIN or IANA were to start something like this out of the blue, they would likely get stalled by the few trolls that don't like the idea and what would scream about it, probably questioning the legitimacy of ARIN/IANA in the first place and other BS. OTOH, with William and Rob doing their thing on their own behalf only, should it be incorporated into something bigger later it would have acquired the legitimacy of being field-tested and approved prior to the "standardization" effort. Rob and William have my support, and it's not because they're my co-authors. They're my co-authors because they have ideas and work towards making them better. If someone does not like what they're doing, just don't look at it and don't use it. I do, because I find value in it, as do many other participants. Michel.

Authority
by Blaxthos 10 Dec '03

10 Dec '03

hello, i've been reading nanog-l/inet-access for many many years (just a shadow, i don't post). i am just curious... do you have any authority/commission from arin (or anyone else)? or is yours a rogue vigilante mission? does anyone ask you to undertake the battles you feel justified in engaging in? this is certainly not flame bait, but it is an honest question. you're very self-righteous, and although you may have valid points (i withold judgement) i really want to know what gives you the right/authority to say the things you say about others. /blaxthos
