That route came back again soon afterwards. I have received an assurance directly from senior AT&T management that the route has - in the last few minutes - been removed with prejudice. It will not be returning. We will now be working with AT&T management to help them to identify exactly and how where their internal processes failed on this issue.

Any filters you routing people may have put in place to prevent abuse from those blocks can be - and, please, SHOULD be, removed as soon as practicable. The DNSBL entries for them at Spamhaus and SORBS have already been removed. Anyone wanting more information is welcome to join the "Hijacked" list (mailto:majordomo@numbering.com?subject="subscribe hijacked") which is where we discuss and resolve the Hijacking incidents as they occur. Most network operators are now represented there, and as a result we have been able to resolve most of the hijacking incidents within a very short time of their coming to notice. -- Richard Cox (Listowner, Hijacked List) Mandarin Technology Ltd, Wales \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ Contribute to the SpamCon Legal Fund!! http://www.spamcon.org/legalfund/
