I find this very interesting. Some people claim that AGIS is quite large... (I don't think I believe them) and if you don't peer with agis you really don't reach all the net. yet here is a case where someone else cuts them off with no complaints.... I have seen similar statements from others. any consensus on whether connectivity to them is irrelevant to doing reasonable business on the net or not now a days? one wonders how long they will hang on. (Watching sergio heker's antics with GES (jvncnet) i used to wonder the same. Sergio however had one major major customer called princeton university left at the end.) AGIS has the spammers.....surely they will meet their well deserved fate before long? ************************************************************************ The COOK Report on Internet For subsc. pricing & more than 431 Greenway Ave, Ewing, NJ 08618 USA ten megabytes of free material (609) 882-2572 (phone & fax) visit http://cookreport.com/ Internet: cook@cookreport.com On line speech of critics under attack by Ewing NJ School Board, go to http://cookreport.com/sboard.shtml ************************************************************************ On Mon, 2 Jun 1997, Dalvenjah FoxFire wrote:

Can someone verify that this is the interface facing cyberpromo from AGIS?
I called AGIS' NOC and they refused to tell me, so I want to make sure I'm cutting just them...

Well, AGIS appears to be hijacking its own netblocks for CyberPromo, as it were. I blocked out the CP netblocks, and still got spam from other netblocks through AGIS. I finally went ahead and blocked this:

Two months with these filters, and no complaints yet.
