Ah, both reasons really; setup mail flow rules, verify mail delivery, and create appropriate whitelist entries if need be to make sure that notifications tend not to mysteriously vanish. All general things that I like to do for any new mail-based monitoring system. - S -----Original Message----- From: Gadi Evron [mailto:ge@linuxbox.org] Sent: Friday, September 12, 2008 3:50 PM To: Andrew Fried Cc: Skywing; Kevin Oberman; nanog@merit.edu Subject: Re: community real-time BGP hijack notification service On Fri, 12 Sep 2008, Andrew Fried wrote:
Mail being what it is today, testing message delivery is an excellent idea. I'll implement that feature this weekend.
I think he meant he wants to be able to get an example alert to his inbox on registration/on request so he can special filters which can wake him up. Gadi.

It might be useful to have an option to generate an example alert mail for purposes of setting up necessary mail processing rules and that sort. Just a thought.

Looks interesting, but it only takes a fairly short list of ASNs for a prefix. For our big CIDR blocks, we have WAY too many ASNs to enter them all, so it's pretty useless for me. I need to be able to enter at very least a dozen ASes and I suspect may folks have a LOT more then that.
I am sure we can fix that, Thanks for the comment!
For now, I'll enter some shorter pieces from the block, but I'm most concerned with the pieces that are not currently assigned, so are available for hijack. I have added the larger, unassigned blocks. I'll start adding assigned bits and pieces as well as unassigned pieces, but being able to put all valid origin ASes in the list for the full blocks would be a lot nicer.
Please let us know if you encounter any issues.
