Well, firstly these IPs are not in standard RBLs. They are in DUL lists. 
Unless I am mistaken, not too many mail servers block DUL  IPs. They most 
probably subject it to more stricter checks. I, for example, give a higher 
spam value in Spam Assassin to these emails, simply because the number of 
spam coming from DUL far outmatches legitimate emails.

Also, remember, that either Tata Indicom/VSNL has voluntarily submitted its 
dialup pool, or somebody has taken the trouble to find out and submit them. 
Either way, people out there (mailadmins) have an interest in tracking 
dynamic IPs around the world.

As far as i see it, the only way to take IPs off DUL lists is by proving that 
they are not dynamic. :) That is the whole purpose of that list isnt it?

What is worthy of a protest is asking Tata Indicom/VSNL to take off that brain 
dead policy of alllowing only mails sent from Tata Indicom/VSNL email ids to 
be sent through their mail servers.

Another thing, always use the Tata Indicom name wheneevr you are talking about 
VSNL. It seems that Tata Indicom is choosy about how to use their brand name. 
They let obnoxious policies like these be publicised using the brand name of 
VSNL, while they promote their own brand name whenever a marketing pitchis to 
be made. Every body should know that Tata Indicom and VSNL are the same. Only 
when the Tata Indicom brand name/image gets a hit, will they take their 
stupid policy off. So repeat after me:

Bad Tata Indicom! Bad Tata Indicom! Bad Tata Indicom! Bad Tata Indicom! Bad 
Tata Indicom! Bad Tata Indicom! Bad Tata Indicom! Bad Tata Indicom! Bad Tata 
Indicom!

folks (esp sandip)

while we are on this topic, can you also guide us vsn-as-dialup-ISP users,
on how to get our dynamic IP off RBLs? i think organised action helps, and
if the ISP understands that many users are affected, they make take some
corrective action. like giving us authenticated SMTP fr example.

i am sure that this email is going to bounce back from most of the

thanks for any help/guidance.

The brief overview of the ELF format specifications can be found at :

http://www.skyfree.org/linux/references/ELF_Format.pdf

The DWARF Debugging Information format can be found at :

http://www.eagercon.com/dwarf/dwarf3std.htm

You can use a program called readelf to read the ELF file and output the
contents in a human-readable form. It is part of the binutils package
(which contains the asembler, linker, loader and such utilities). Use it
to get the placement of sections in the ELF file and to read the DWARF
information.

Re: [ilugd] pls tell best modem

2004-09-05 Thread Ujjwal Dasgupta
Hi,

An external modem would be best for linux, but if you cannot get it, make
sure you get an internal modem with special drivers for linux. Most internal
modems are "softmodems" which rely on the CPU for some of their functions.
AFAIK, D-Link provides linux drivers. I have used them, they are ok, but the
speed is limited unles you pay.

Re: [ilugd] installing fedora from hard disk

2004-09-05 Thread Ujjwal Dasgupta
Hi all, I have a similiar problem, I have a single cd of fedora, which I got
through LFY. The cd is scratched a little, hence it stalls while installing
the boot image. I have copied the "Fedora" folder containing the base and
RPMS to my hard drive. I just want a basic setup of fedora, without
applications or graphical interface, as anyway my system is not powerful
enough to handle that. Anyway I can do it? Could you enlighten me about this
scratch method of installing linux?

By IP? That is uncommon. Rediff is one of the few people who have been 
blacklisting by domain (for their internal RBL databases). If your IP is 
blocked it is likely that you are listed elsewhere. Check openrbl.org for 
testing whether your IP is listed elsewhere.

And as I mentioned earlier, (abuse  AT rediffmail DOT com ) works!

Help?  Well,
1. Ask your ISP who gave you your IP to set up reverse DNS for you
2. Set your mailserver up to accept mail for that reverse DNS record 
name (say if reverse dns is set up to call itself mail.yourdomain.com

Hi Sandip,

  Can you let me know how to contact Manish Verman from Rediff.

  Rediff has also block-listed my IP. Actually, the problem is that
dnsbl black-lists the IP and I don't know how to setup reverse DNS.

  Any help in this direction would be helpful.

The issues got mixed up in the mail. :) Rediff is blocking me, and I have 
blocked Indiatimes ( I dont want to make an exception to my RBL checking).

The great thing is that Manish Verma from Rediff did get in touch with me
