RE: [Declude.JunkMail] OT: RoadRunner Postmaster Contact

2004-06-14 Thread Sean Fahey



I agree with pretty much everything said here. We sent 7 
e-mail requests, then it got dirty. Eventually we started calling the local tech 
support demanding the contact number of a real live human being in their 
Security Dept., took down the names of everyone we spoke to. We 
learned that the regional rr.com NOCs can, at their discretion change the master 
blacklist, and if there's any doubt, they can escalate pretty quickly to their 
central security department.
 
In our case, several of our employees used rr from home as 
their way to VPN into our network. When we started talking about taking our 
business elsewhere, contacting regional managers, things began to get fixed very 
quickly.

  These jerks are 
  so unresponsive that we decided to go tit-for-tat, i.e. we now block them as 
  well. We have apparently been caught in a wider IP block by them and have been 
  unable to clear it up.
   
  In fact, they 
  are so knowledgable that when one of their customers in Florida contacted them 
  via e-mail and got a callback, when he asked for a number at which we could 
  reach them, the technical support person didn't know the number and 
  disappeared for several minutes before eventually coming back with an 800 
  number. When that number was called, we got a voice mail message telling us to 
  e-mail them with the problem.
   
  We have of 
  course done this several times with absolutely no response, so we have take 
  the only option left to us: to block all the IP ranges we can find for 
  them.  :-)

Sorry for the OT post, but I'm desperate this 
morning...
 
Anyone have a RoadRunner postmaster 
contact?
 
I'm getting a ton of MX connect fail this 
morning to a number of their servers.  Don't know if they've 
blacklisted our IP range or not.  Anyone else having trouble with them 
currently?
Darin.
