Sambas folks: (sorry, if someone knows someone, please fwd this.  I didn't
see any 'technical' contacts on their web site and I don't want to 'spam'
them.  Technical contact via whois says: [EMAIL PROTECTED] lets try
that.

Hey, google me.  Go back to fdma.com days.  I fought (hard) the usenet spam
ways.  Worked with chris lewis (tinc). Why have you firewalled my class c
address from pbl.spamhaus.org lookups? (204.89.241.0/24).
I don't do excessive lookups, if I did, you never told me.
I hate spammers.  I don't spam.   I use SpamAssassin, (I am the official
port maintainer for the freebsd SA port).  I am a charter member of the ICSA
labs anti-spam consortium.  We are writing the specifications to certify
anti-spam appliances. What gives? What did I do wrong?

10,000 ip lookups a day is a DDOS?
