blars.org is down? That's good news! One of my servers was on his
extortion list. In fact, all IP addresses of that provider were. They
and I refused to pay.

Regarding this bug, it's normal that RBLs are taken down and then
blacklist the entire address space. I've had this happen with my RBL
checker every few months.

Bernd,

Looking at the email address used I presume the bug in question is:
blars.org is down; hinfo-update fails miserably as a result.
See: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=402316

Kind regards,

Roger

This is an very serious bug

2006-12-14 Thread Daniel van Eeden
This bug really should have critical or release-critical as severity
level. It almost caused an production box with debian sarge to break.
(/var filesystem full)

I verified this bug on stable and sid.

As this is an DOS attack.

Daniel van Eeden
