I've had a _few_ spam spews here which came from Linode IPs, but very few. Other IP blocks in Brazil, Poland, Italy, DigitalOcean, etc. harbor many more. > They always kick them > off when you report it, but by then it's too late, so their whole > network has an iffy reputation. Be that as it may, the support folks at Linode are exceptional, and go the extra mile for me on any problems or questions I may have, whether it's their issues are someone else's. > Linode's hosting is nothing special, either in features or price.

I've got a lot of sweat equity into programming against their DNS API, and have an IPv6 /56 subnet from them which provides v6 addresses to our SOHO LAN. I have too much on my plate to make a major move, including 80 or so domain names on their DNS. The Linode support folks went to bat on this particular issue and filed a delisting request with Microsoft on my address, or the /24 containing it. I've done the same from my end. -- Lindsay Haisley | "The first casualty when FMP Computer Services | war comes is truth." 512-259-1190 | http://www.fmp.com | -- Hiram W Johnson ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
