Re: SPAM, RE: Internic and there lame response
OK so what to do if their upstream does nothing? Like PBI
There are many other ways to track a spammer.
- Do nslookup on the IP that originated the spam (sometimes this takes a bit of detective work to find what IP actually originated the spam). - Traceroute to the originating IP. Email the ISP that is directly upstream.
*I* know these techniques. Joe User who's irritated at his spam likely does not.
- Look in the Whois information for contact emails and nameservers - if these are for the upstream ISP, or some ISP other than the spammer, report it to them.
But there's the rub. A great deal of the information (including delegations) in domain registrations by net.abusers is complete fabrication. InterNIC refuses to deal with it, even when it's pointed out to them.
- If they are advertising a web page, track the web page host, and their upstream, and report it to them.
All the time :>
What do spammers and nails have in common? They're both intended for hammering.
Amen.

PBI does more than most. There really aren't any backbones left who do nothing, (with the possible exception of UUnet, but that's a relatively recent occurance.) -- J.D. Falk <jdfalk@cp.net> Special Agent In Charge (Abuse Issues) Critical Path, Inc.
