Trying to work around them with a dodgy DNS setup is not the right course of action, IMHO. > If this approach works out, it could be considered. It is not illegal. Correct - it's just silly and it doesn't work as expected. 1) a properly working resolver library will return multiple records rotated once for every lookup, so you're never guaranteed to get the same answer to a reverse lookup. 2) most applications, e.g. mail-servers, that do reverse lookups do not expect more than one reply, and will always only process the first one. > It's just against what we are used to over the last 20+ years. Plus it doesn't work. /Per Jessen, Herrliberg -- http://www.spamchek.com/ - your spam is our business.

There are a lot of E-Mail Providers (i.e. gmx) behaving like this already. If A, PTR, MX and HELO are not exactly the same (all four) the message is marked as SPAM. There are pro's and cons for this... I would not rate E-Mails solely because of those four points, but that's only me.... CU Tobias

chzrh01 opens - first Swiss based SixXS PoP
by Jeroen Massar 25 Mar '08

25 Mar '08

Hi folks, I would just like to spam here also that, with thanks to the nice folks from IP-Man, we have setup and now also opened the first Swiss based SixXS PoP: chzrh01.sixxs.net. It is located at the TIX in Zurich and should have really nice low latencies to most people in Switzerland. For the folks who already have a SixXS account, they have been spammed already with an offer they can't refuse, for everybody else, maybe it is time to start peeking at this when you don't have IPv6 connectivity yet? http://www.sixxs.net/ of course, and for questions don't hesitate to contact info(a)sixxs.net (see also /contact/ on the website). For the folks who didn't gotten the word yet: http://ipv6.google.com exists and works, and also, the Great IPv6 Experiment's testing phase has already begun and it will soon go live, also with non-adult material so that it can reach a much wider audience. Greets, Jeroen

VDSL/Zyxel P2802 HWL not "strong" enough for a small company LAN?
by Olivier Mueller 19 Mar '08

19 Mar '08

Hello, bonjour, I'm not sure it is the right place to ask this, but as most the members of this list are working for companies selling *DSL services, maybe there will be a match :) The network of one of the companies I'm working for is connected to internet simply via a green.ch VDSL line, over a Zyxel P2802. Everything was fine until a few weeks ago, and now I'm getting more and more "Timeout, server not responding." messages in my (even active) terminals connected via ssh to remote hosts, and jabber/imap/etc. connections are getting randomly disconnected too after a few minutes or hours. I guess it's a problem related to the company size: it grew during the last months, and now there are about 20 employee, which makes about 40-50 terminals (PC + VoIP Phones + a few internal servers) connected to the LAN. Is it possible that the Zyxel device is not the proper one anymore for this case? Rebooting doesn't really help, and there are no special messages in the logs, CPU Usage ~ 13%, Memory Usage ~ 60%. Feedback from Studerus Support was to upgrade the Firmware, but it was already up to date... I have the same Router @home and never got this kind of issue. What would you try next? If you think I should get some more hardware (and use the Zyxel as a bridge), what would you then recommend ? Thanks for your attention & a nice end of week to you :-) Olivier

Hackattaken
by Xaver Aerni 16 Mar '08

16 Mar '08

Hallo, Sorry das ich das auf Deutsch schreibe... Seit am Freitag haben wir in der Sekunde über 25 000 Hackattaken auf unser System. Mit der Folge, das die Leitung dicht ist und auch die Firewall mal kurz zu macht... Unserer Analsyse kommen die Attaken von diversen Systemen... Es werden wie gesagt über 24 000 Sessionen geöffnet. (in Kurzer Zeit) Der Angriff dauert zwischen 8 und 15 Minuten... So wie es aussieht im Moment sinkend. (ohne Gewähr). Der Angriff wird alle 100 Minuten wiederholt.... Das tragische ist das während des Angriffes keinen Traffic mehr durchkommt. Ist auch anderen Providern das Problem bekannt... Gruss Xaver

Notice of Copyright Infringement - How do you proceed?
by Benoit Panizzon 15 Mar '08

15 Mar '08

Hello I just got in contact with the swiss advocate of a company who sends us such messages about our users sharring copyrighted content. I basicly wanted to tell him that he should proceed according to swiss law instead of bothering us with such messages. He told me that they made very good experience with such messages as according to his knowledge most ISP warn their users if they hear about them sharing copyrighted 'goods'. Their goal is not to sue anybody but just to show them they are not annonymous and hope they'll stop sharing. So ist this true? Do most of you guys issue warning to your users if you get such messages?
