OK. As I said, I was merely curious (in particular of the analytical content..), since rumors running.

RE: North America not interested in IP V6
by St. Clair, James 29 Jul '03

Please somebody correct me..Can't a provider simply NAT the IPv4 at his gateway, and stream IPv6 to as many wireless customers as he can lock into a painful long-term contract? (just kidding!) The demand for /8's won't change any, and you can IPv6 and eat your cake too. I do understand the v4 to v6 NAT'ing may be an issue... -----Original Message----- From: Daryl G.

I actually use mine. But it's behind a proxy, as I suspect nearly every other provder's WAP gateway is. Daryl Jurbala

RE: Is there a technical solution to SPAM?

Make it more of a hassle for them. Ralsky apparently gets *bags* of junkmail everyday because mad people signed him up for everything under the sun. If everyone faxed a 600 page document of why spam is bad to any fax numbers in the email, maybe some places would start to get the point. Fill out their web forms with contact info of someone at the FTC. Obviously laws aren't going to stop it, and people are making money off of it. If it gets to the point where the harrassment just isn't worth it, some spammers will stop. > -----Original Message----- > From: Bob German [mailto:bobgerman@irides.com] > Sent: Tuesday, July 29, 2003 8:45 AM > To: nanog(a)merit.edu > Subject: RE: Is there a technical solution to SPAM? > > > > > I disagree.

Re: Its not just Spam and DDOS anymore (was Re: OT: Re: User negligence?)
by Peter Gray 29 Jul '03

For a laugh, take a look at this spammer site, www.ushplans.com, currently hosted by Net Access Corporation. It claims to be "US Health Plans Inc., The Nations (sic) Leading Dental Plan" but its head office appears to be a mail drop box in New Jersey and its only known employee appears to be a telephone answering machine in Georgia. The domain name registration details give a fake address. NAC has been hosting this site for the last year, I've asked them three times to investigate and remove it, but I didn't get any constructive response. >From: william+nanog(a)hq.dreamhost.com (Will Yardley) >To: nanog(a)merit.edu >Subject: Re: Its not just Spam and DDOS anymore (was Re: OT: Re: User >negligence?) >Date: Mon, 28 Jul 2003 11:43:43 -0700 >MIME-Version: 1.0 >Received: from mc9-f35.bay6.hotmail.com ([65.54.166.42]) by >mc9-s18.bay6.hotmail.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC(5.0.2195.5600); Mon, 28 Jul >2003 11:45:32 -0700 >Received: from trapdoor.merit.edu ([198.108.1.26]) by >mc9-f35.bay6.hotmail.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC(5.0.2195.5600); Mon, 28 Jul >2003 11:45:32 -0700 >Received: by trapdoor.merit.edu (Postfix)id E06BF9124D; Mon, 28 Jul 2003 >14:43:48 -0400 (EDT) >Received: by trapdoor.merit.edu (Postfix, from userid 56)id A9FBA9124E; >Mon, 28 Jul 2003 14:43:48 -0400 (EDT) >Received: from segue.merit.edu (segue.merit.edu [198.108.1.41])by >trapdoor.merit.edu (Postfix) with ESMTP id 6C42B9124Dfor ><nanog(a)trapdoor.merit.edu>; Mon, 28 Jul 2003 14:43:45 -0400 (EDT) >Received: by segue.merit.edu (Postfix)id 4C2835DDF2; Mon, 28 Jul 2003 >14:43:45 -0400 (EDT) >Received: from mail.hq.newdream.net (mail.hq.newdream.net [66.33.200.10])by >segue.merit.edu (Postfix) with ESMTP id C3F025DDF0for <nanog(a)merit.edu>; >Mon, 28 Jul 2003 14:43:44 -0400 (EDT) >Received: from 127.0.0.1 (zugzug.hq.newdream.net [127.0.0.1])by >drama.hq.newdream.net (Postfix) with SMTP id E6AB93B2EDfor ><nanog(a)merit.edu>; Mon, 28 Jul 2003 11:43:43 -0700 (PDT) >Received: by mail.hq.newdream.net (Postfix, from userid 1012)id D84513B2EB; >Mon, 28 Jul 2003 11:43:43 -0700 (PDT) >X-Message-Info: MxAodtZPLiQ6HPHOc8rBiXjgUFkT69DC >Delivered-To: nanog-outgoing(a)trapdoor.merit.edu >Delivered-To: nanog(a)trapdoor.merit.edu >Delivered-To: nanog(a)merit.edu >Message-ID: <20030728184343.GC29468(a)hq.newdream.net> >Mail-Followup-To: nanog(a)merit.edu >References: <Law12-F88E2sCRBHZXF0000ea4c(a)hotmail.com> >In-Reply-To: <Law12-F88E2sCRBHZXF0000ea4c(a)hotmail.com> >Organization: New Dream Network >X-Message-Flag: Why are you reading this? >User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.3i >Sender: owner-nanog(a)merit.edu >Precedence: bulk >Errors-To: owner-nanog-outgoing(a)merit.edu >X-Loop: nanog >Return-Path: owner-nanog(a)merit.edu >X-OriginalArrivalTime: 28 Jul 2003 18:45:32.0357 (UTC) >FILETIME=[6C832750:01C35538] > > >On Mon, Jul 28, 2003 at 08:56:01AM +0000, Peter Gray wrote: > > > On the subject of host security issues and spam, try doing a search of >the > > Usenet archive for '"Net Access Corporation" spam'.
