1700+ attempts from one IP address to send mail today via one of my servers. -----Original Message----- From: nicole@xwin.nmhtech.com [mailto:nicole@xwin.nmhtech.com]On Behalf Of Nicole Sent: Tuesday, February 17, 2004 12:25 PM To: nanog@merit.edu Cc: Mark Turpin; Roy Subject: RE: Open, anonymous services and dealing with abuse Well at least they are somewhat DNS responsible in that they seperate their user IP space well. SO that it can be blocked. the really annoying ISPS's use stupid things like DSL1234.isp.com And such. Of course doing this does block those 1 in 100 people runing a server on their DSL line and not requesting a reverse DNS change. la.charter.com 550 NO Mail Accepted From DSL va.charter.com 550 NO Mail Accepted From DSL mn.charter.com 550 NO Mail Accepted From DSL ga.charter.com 550 NO Mail Accepted From DSL ct.charter.com 550 NO Mail Accepted From DSL ma.charter.com 550 NO Mail Accepted From DSL ca.charter.com 550 NO Mail Accepted From DSL wi.charter.com 550 NO Mail Accepted From DSL al.charter.com 550 NO Mail Accepted From DSL sc.charter.com 550 NO Mail Accepted From DSL tx.charter.com 550 NO Mail Accepted From DSL nc.charter.com 550 NO Mail Accepted From DSL Nicole On 17-Feb-04 Unnamed Administration sources reported Roy said :
Well they accept mail at abuse@charter.com but they certainly don't do anything about it. I have sent numerous complaints to that address with absolutely nothing happening to fix the problem. The address is a black hole.

paid regularly, or their budgets are kept low, etc. Many will have RFC 2142 contacts, but appear to discard incoming mail. Some, such as Charter Communications, do not even have these mandatory addresses (mail is not accepted for <abuse@charter.com>).
while they do not conform to the RFC, they receive accept mail at/for abuse@chartercom.com

And on the other hand, it is the CDC that would perform an outbreak isolation, not the restaurant staff.
You're talking about a concerted effort. So far, I haven't seen the levels of cooperation between providers that is required. I'm all for everyone holding hands and squashing out issues. But until you get past the isolationist mindset (you must be sick of me saying that by now) good luck...
I think we're both in agreement that until * starts saying "If I don't stop this today, it will hurt me tomorrow", that the cooperation required to address and stop these issues will be nil.
