And the guy who is doing this is also an XO downstream as I see.. and I have a feeling he wont like the consequences of what he did .. but meanwhile, operationally speaking, my 40 million ++ users would be glad if these fake announcements could get cut off at the knees srs Head, Antispam Operations Outblaze Limited http://www.outblaze.com On Thu, Nov 20, 2008 at 10:49 AM, Suresh Ramasubramanian <ops.lists@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi
Yes we are on the phone with xo - but meanwhile several other operators have been picking it up.
As for operational impact - we're Outblaze.com - thats mail.com, register.com hosted domains etc, email for 40 million users or so. That makes us, lemme see, quite a bit larger than people like Comcast, in terms of userbase for email.
I hope that helps the community decide whether or not to accept these bogus blackhole prefixes
thanks srs

If you see 208.36.123.0/24 being announced from any other prefix than XO (2828 I guess) please ignore it. Especially if you see it announced from 19318 or 14037.
You're unlikely to get any reasonable response or action here. The best course of action is to work through XO. You are their customer, and it is their address space, right?
For what it's worth 208.36.123.0/24 was advertised recently but as a community we have no way of knowing the validity of it, or the operational impact.
