Ah, I'd pasted the following in a response to the mail you responded to: ~$ whois 208.68.4.129 Comment: --------------- Comment: 208.68.4.128/28 and 208.68.7.128/28 provide privacy services Comment: (incl running tor exit node(s)!)

Hi Matt,
If someone in your address space is knock-knocking on a stranger's ssh ports (your example, not mine), you have some work to do convincing me of your supreme security.
Don't get me wrong: I've felt the pain of the auto-generated spam complaint that scrubbed exactly the headers I need to figure out what happened. But if you're round-filing complaints solely because they were generated by a program, you're doing it really wrong.
