[HACKERS] Anyone want to admit to being presinet.com?

And if so, would you mind stopping your mail system from regurgitating
copies of pghackers traffic?  It's especially bad that you're sending
the stuff with a fraudulent envelope From, ie, one not pointing back
at yourself.

 Well as one of the people that deploys and managees many, many
 postgresql installations I can say I have never run into the need to
 have dns names and the thought of dns names honestly seems silly. It
 will increase overhead and dependencies that I just wouldn't want in my
 installations.

It is not uncommon for an environment that has already suffered
through one forced renumbering to forbid the use of hard set IPs in
application software.

With IPv6 we will just see more and more of that.

Tom,

 And if so, would you mind stopping your mail system from regurgitating
 copies of pghackers traffic?  It's especially bad that you're sending
 the stuff with a fraudulent envelope From, ie, one not pointing back
 at yourself.

The really amusing thing is that presinet.com claim to be Network Security 
Experts.

That would be me. I've notified one of our admins about the problem. It 
appears we are testing some new software on our mail system, and 
obviously there is a misconfiguration.


Thanks for the heads-up, and sorry about the noise.

Where did you see the emails? In this list? I haven't seen any show up 
here, or I would have gotten on this earlier.

No, delivered to me personally, as you can see from the headers.  It
just started recently --- I've only gotten two so far.
