Chris,

Can't help much - but can say we find ourselves in a similar boat.

As a rule of thumb, we systematically block, log, and report *every*
spam, virus  brute force etc attempt we receive against any of our
devices.

In the past three years, only one company has ever responded to an abuse
request (CampaignMonitor to name  honour them), though there are
definitely some other good guys out there (a large number of them on
this list)!

RE: New tsunami advisory warning - Japan

 *yawn*.  A foot and a half isn't going to be all *that* bad

Sorry to continue off topic:

Try to imagine ... a temporary very high tide, rather than a cresting
wave. In addition to the height, it's the wave-length you have to take
into account. Tsunami's rarely become towering breaking waves.

[That said, tsunamis can form into a bore - a step-like wave with a
steep breaking front. Likely if the tsunami moves from deep water into a
shallow river / bay]

1 1/2 foot on top of an existing high tide, could easily cause further
flooding in the wrong locations (although as mentioned, not to the
levels already experienced).

 travels in general at approx 970 kph (600 mph)

True in the deepest parts of open ocean - upon reaching the shore-line
it'll be travelling a lot slower.

 You guys forget a lot of folks on the list are working on cabling ships and 
 off shore platforms, its not all about what happens on shore in this industry.

 

Valid point ... however in deep ocean, these things are pretty imperceptible. 
The effect on ships on the surface are nominal, and off shore platforms are 
(generally) built with these things in mind:

 JCG ship in the the open ocean.

Impressive video. The wave height and speed would suggest shallower
waters, and that likely the ship was close to land mass when the video
was filmed rather than open ocean (in the sense of being far out to
sea). Not being there of course I could easily be incorrect.

Anyway we digress  :)

 Here is a video of the recent Japanese tsunami from a JCG ship in the
the open ocean. The waves (@ ~4:20 and 6:40 into the video) caused them
no trouble, but they were certainly not imperceptible.

Abuse@ contacts

2010-12-07 Thread Gavin Pearce
Hello,

 

After a weekend of heavy spam last month, we decided to fire some
reports over to the abuse contacts for each relevant IP or domain - some
US/Europe based, others from more obscure locations.

 

We've not had a reply from any of the reports sent over, other than some
automated bounces. Each report from us contained detailed information
about IP, date, headers, spam content, relevant ranges etc ... 

 

How many of you (honestly) actively manage and respond to abuse@ contact
details listed in WHOIS? Or have had any luck with abuse@ contacts in
the past? Who's good and who isn't?

 

Apologies in advance if this has been around before - I'm new here.   (:
