Re: [Declude.JunkMail] OT: Sales call on new domain

[Matt]

This is the same company that didn't pull that phishing scam from their server for 36 hours before Valentines day.  They are also the same company that is refusing to pull a customer of theirs that attacks my server daily with a crawler that submits POST information to forms in rapid succession and across my entire server.  They said it was harmless, I told them that it was clear they didn't care at all about what their customers did, they told me they took reports of abuse seriously...and then they failed to respond again to the problem despite repeated requests.  I had to change the code for some of the forms on my site that lacked verification of a specific string of data because this crawler submitted 80 forms in a couple of minutes to one customer, and luckily the other forms were already protected. In the IP's surrounding this crawler, Aplus also has a very graphic porn site, a bulk mailer get rich quick scheme claiming 100,000 members one month after registration, and some guy selling burnt CD's of popular software titles. Aplus is a scourge, and soon enough they will likely achieve ServInt status in spam support. I would say blacklist them but unfortunately they have legit customers.  I do though add a few points to their IP's as a protective measure, though right now they are more of a niche spam source. 66.226.64.0/19        Abacus America/A+Net Internet Services/aplus.net/abac.net (Slow or Completely Non-responsive to the Obvious) [66.226.64.0 - 66.226.95.255] 216.55.128.0/18        Abacus America/A+Net Internet Services/aplus.net/abac.net (Slow or Completely Non-responsive to the Obvious) [216.55.128.0 - 216.55.191.255] BTW, using registry data for sales calls is a clear TOS violation.  Aplus is a domain reseller and you might be able to get them kicked if you try hard enough.

I assume that they pulled the whois info from newly registered domain but I don't know how they get it, or so quickly.
