LS, today I had to find out that during my holiday a typo was entered into our mailconfig, we use a bunch of dnsbl's, amongst others the CBL (cbl.abuseat.org). Now, the 'e' from abuse was left out by mistake it seems, so since 07:40 (GMT+2) we suddenly started bouncing everything based on - as it appeared to others - the CBL... :(
From the PIR whois I got: jpv@jp-gp: ~ $ whois -h whois.pir.org abusat.org [ ... ] Domain ID:D107298888-LROR Domain Name:ABUSAT.ORG Created On:28-Aug-2005 05:36:11 UTC Expiration Date:28-Aug-2006 05:36:11 UTC Sponsoring Registrar:Capitoldomains LLC (R1392-LROR) Status:TRANSFER PROHIBITED
So, in case anyone else made a typo and didn't notice, you might want to check before you get angry calls about it. This domaingrabber is answering all queries within this zone: jpv@jp-gp: ~ $ dig 1.0.0.127.cbl.abusat.org.

He "urged" me to dip in to my (half a year worth) reserve... ;D Kind regards, JP Velders
