Mwhaha, you are hosting by Hetzner, right? ;-) I get those automaticly generated netscan-mails frequently. Some times they shut down the single Tor IP, some time they shutdown the whole subnet. Depends on their mood (or better: the mood of that IDS). But the funny thing is, that they claim, the netscan abused a *considerable* amount of ressources. So everytime I get this kind of email, I calculate the amount of generated traffic and look how long the scan lasted. Then I calculate the bandwidth and write them, that they can't be serious and I demand the freeing of my IPs. Pretty simple actually. To speed things up, you could write the "Rechenzentrum" your server is located in. Cheers, Muelli
