Hi all Have you had similar experiences with the five-ten-sg.com DNS-Based blacklist operators?
They have blacklisted 157.161.0.0/16 wich belongs to improware. I and a friend also operating hosts in that range contacted five ten sg to know why they blocked that range. We both got the same answer: 157.161.0.0/16 has missing or consecutive reverse dns, no RIPE customer reallocation records that identify the customer, no rwhois server. We don't accept mail directly from such ip addresses. Improware could fix those issues. So I got in contact with improware. Their statement ist: The whole range belongs to improware and it's business units like teleport, so they see no need to register those business units to ripe. There are no missing revere DNS entires. They don't operate a rwhois server for security issues. >From my point of view I see no need for five ten sg to keep that range blacklisted, especialy as they could not send me any prove of spam or other abuse from that range. (Surely there are viruses from teleport cable-internet customers, but I personaly know the improware abuse person and they block those customers as soon as they get notified) So what now? Considering five-ten-sg as defunct and telling everybody not to use them anymore? -Benoit- ---------------------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Maillist-Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/swinog%40swinog.ch/
