I've had Internet service through Shaw Cable for some time now. Not today.
Earlier today I found that I was unable to send any email. I was getting an error that said something about poor reputation. Obviously, this would have something to do with sending spam or viruses out, and some blacklist had tripped a switch somewhere. Shaw has a bad reputation for spam in any case. And they don't give you much information. Anyway, I managed to get a message to them, and even managed to get a call back. Pointless exercise. Rowell, who called back, said I was sending spam, said he didn't say I was sending pam, said they were using a third-party service (senderbase.org), said he hadn't said they were using a third party service, said he was trying to help, didn't give any help, said they couldn't help me, and said that I shouldn't send email for two days. He specifically would not let me talk to a supervisor or anyone who understood what the term "blacklist" meant. ====================== [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] "If you do buy a computer, don't turn it on." - Richards' 2nd Law ============= for back issues: [Base URL] site http://victoria.tc.ca/techrev/ CISSP refs: [Base URL]mnbksccd.htm Security Dict.: [Base URL]secgloss.htm Book reviews: [Base URL]mnbk.htm [Base URL]review.htm Partial/recent: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/techbooks/ Review mailing list: send mail to [email protected] http://blogs.securiteam.com/index.php/archives/author/p1/ http://blog.isc2.org/isc2_blog/slade/index.html http://twitter.com/rslade _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
