Yes, its above.net's network. They can do what they want. But guys, the box in question isn't at an _above.net customer_. Think about this before you think Sabri is smoking crack.
You would have a point; if the box in question wasn't an ORBS box. if ORBS didn't invite script kiddies to attack AboveNet customers that may have open sendmail relays. if ORBS RelayTest was part of a "nice" system. This whole thing is skirting around the ORBS issue. It is clear that Sabri wants AboveNet to allow ORBS into their system. This "net terrorism" thingy is simply a sham. Otherwise, why would Sabri want access to the ORBS system? Of course, my bias wrt ORBS is well-known. However, it is not accidental that the ORBS relay test box is exactly the box that Sabri is complaining about. He said so clearly. What's Sabri's connection to BigFoot.Com (whom recently came out supporting ORBS)? This whole thread is about getting back-door support for ORBS.
