Why would that matter? This is publicly available information. Some of us have both publicly-facing authoritative DNS, and inward facing recursive servers that may be open resolvers but can't be found via NS entries (so the IP addresses of those aren't exactly publicly available info). Sounds like your making the faulty assumption that an attacker would use normal means to find your servers. -- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments

Mammals have sex. *Words* (and only words) have gender. There's an RFC about that! RFC 6350, section 6.2.7, about the GENDER vCard property: 6.2.7. GENDER Purpose: To specify the components of the sex and gender identity of the object the vCard represents. Value type: A single structured value with two components. Each component has a single text value. Cardinality: *1 Special notes: The components correspond, in sequence, to the sex (biological), and gender identity. Each component is optional. Sex component: A single letter. M stands for "male", F stands for "female", O stands for "other", N stands for "none or not applicable", U stands for "unknown".

Re: Update from the NANOG Communications Committee regarding recent off-topic posts

Once a member has made a relevant post regarding a NANOG related item their funds are returned. If someone spams they forfeit the money and it is used to help defray the costs of attending NANOG for the 99%. If the poster has been sponsored by a current member, said member is flogged in public at the next meeting. ...runs Sent from my iPhone On Jul 30, 2012, at 10:42 AM, "Patrick W.

So my guess is that a post from that account has not happened before, meaning the post was moderated yet still made it through. Has anyone done a data mining experiment to see how many posts a month are from "new" members? My guess is it is a trivial percentage. -- TTFN, patrick On Jul 30, 2012, at 13:35 , valdis.kletni...@vt.edu wrote: On Mon, 30 Jul 2012 21:04:36 +0200, Panashe Flack said: list for continued activity. And just for reference - have you guys SEEN the "Linux Kernel Mailing List"? - it gets frequent spam posts and yet is perfectly able to ignore the spam/irrelevant posts and continue on its remit. For those who don't drink from the Linux-Kernel firehose, it averages 1 or 2 spams per day - and anywhere from 500 to 700 postings a day. As Linus Torvalds said, back when it was averaging 200 a day: "Note that nobody reads every post in linux-kernel. In fact, nobody who expects to have time left over to actually do any real kernel work will read even half. Except Alan Cox, but he's actually not human, but about a thousand gnomes working in under-ground caves in Swansea. None of the individual gnomes read all the postings either, they just work together really well." The list managers do an incredible job of stopping spam - but even if 50 or 75 a day got through, they'd just be lost in the noise. You're skipping several hundred messages a day, skipping a few more isn't any different. Would be an iPhone user to suggest such an idea. Thanks for not implementing this so us peons can learn a thing or two, too. -- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments
