Greetings, I can further vouch for this... an unusually large amount of botnets reported to DroneBL have command and control servers on Atrivo's network. With the amount of listings and reports I get, it is obvious that Atrivo does not care about the abuse@ inbox... which is unfortunate. William On Sun, 2008-09-21 at 16:49 -0400, Andrew D Kirch wrote:
Considering the years of abuse, DNSBL listings, ROKSO listings, further abuse, and silence at the abuse switch, I _CERTAINLY_ would not send Atrivo abuse reports, I would send them to the upstreams instead. Considering the almost 40 page white paper produced last month on the abuse from Atrivo, for me to change this practice, I would require: * a rapid, and verifiable response from Atrivo here over some period of time exceeding several months, and continuing thereafter, * the clearing of SBL/ROKSO records, and * a general reduction of abuse eminating from Atrivo.

Matt,
Don't believe everything you read. I have unfortunately been a target over the years because I rented machines to Esthost. But the stories made up are way out there. It's all very easy a dedicated server / customer relationship - nothing more.
Never did I ignore anymore from the abuse community. Go ahead and find me a IP address that did any spam or anything. You won't find it, I can't remember the last time I got any Spamcop complaints. Not even going to mention Spamhaus because we all know there abuse.
"We asked a handful of Intercage's most vocal critics if they sent take down requests to Kacperski. None said yes. "In his defense, what may have finally happened is that malware researchers stopped bothering to report" abusive sites," Eckelberry says."
None said YES! That pretty much sums it all up. Maybe I could of reached out more, I guess that was my mistake. But it surely is impossible to deal with if you have to deal with people like John Reid.
Thanks!
