That's a pretty valid point Roberto.. That is why I learned how to use/build radio! I see more and more of this repression censorship everyday. I shudder to think what it is like for our debian brothers and sisters in nations where you can't legally even surf the internet for NEWS! It will get worse too. Here we have AOL. Big brother IS watching you, and hearing you, and keeping tabs on your non-encrypted email! Fact is, the good ole net ain't what it was. RMS is a great example of what happened here in the USA - over night; it became a crime to share code! dynamic ip's were/are a pain to live with, but in the radio world, we have met the challenge and I think that is what you need to see it as - a challenge. Now the challenge will soon be that we run ftp servers on our boxes, but that may likely violate your ISP's rules of use. Same if you have apache running! Or ANY other service. It's just gonna get worse. Good luck to you.

I am sending this here because according to mail-abuse.org I and the whole dynamic dns users are spammers just because we are using dynamic ip's. I want all the debian mail relay's administrators be very aware about this. They want to block the whole IP's which are dynamic so they can not send mail anymore so every guy in the internet will have to depend upon a third-party mail relay to send mail.. whats the next? mail-abuse.org is doing something like lets put into jail every people who are living in a city where a crime has been commited... this reminds me those times in France when nazis killed 100 inocent persons for each nazi killed. In fact my last IP was to a blacklist.. blacklist!! are we becaming insane? whats the next? whats the next brilliant idea to ruin other valuable services like those you can achieve using ddt or dhis? maybe the next recommendation from mail-abuse.org will be something like: please send your mail using only secure-relay.echelon.gov Please all of you who are administrating mail relays take this into account when using the services from mail-abuse.org. Not everybody who sends mail using dynamic ip's are spammers just dynamic dns users, and to give the power to mail-abuse.org to decide who can send mail and who cant into your system maybe it is to give them too much power.. maybe that should be **your power** and **not** their power..

Since ddts, dhis, and all of the other dynamic IP, static hostname providers are designed to allow users on a dynamic IP to act as servers, sending e-mail is one of the functions that legitimate administrators of these dyn-ip servers would wish to do. I think your proposal is quite worthy.. Why dont allow fully functional servers just because they are using dynamic ip's? I think you need to convince people that DUL is a bad thing then. It can be argued whether blocking mail coming from dynamic IPs is worthy. Some people claim most spammers use dynamic IPs, therefore mail from dynamic IPs should be blocked. Others claim we shouldnt block 'good' mail based on the assumption that it may be spam. The truth is some people believe mail from dynamic IPs is more often junk than worthy mail. Therefore, they use DUL and block it. Which makes the life of people who use dynamic hosts as servers (most of our users) difficult. As Luca stated before in this thread, we do not provide SMTP services and there's nothing we can do about DUL since its blocking based on IP addresses, not on domain names (plus that your IP never resolve to your .ddts.net addy but only the other way around). We are not going to provide any relaying for outgoing mail from users either if that's what you wanted, that would almost certainly get us in the RBL (or whichever service it is for open relays). I am sad there are spammers in this world really. Yes, it is a pain to use a dynamic connection for running a real server, especially for email.

Re: [MAPS #33478] Re: Whats goin on?
Roberto, Your IP is listed in the DUL list because it is in a dynamic IP range. There's nothing to whine about there since it really does belong in that list. The point to argue about is whether it is wise for relays to block based on the DUL. My personal opinion is its an inneficient way of filetring SPAM and that it causes more trouble than anything else. Tell that to the specific people blocking you, not to the guys administering the DUL. You want to run mail services on your dynamic host, well, just play with the fact you have a dynamic IP. Your ISP hopefully provides a relay for your outgoing mail, which relay accepts your mail based on your IP (should accept only mail from its clients). Why can't you use that one ? If you absolutely want to run a real server, geez, get a real connection.

Re: [MAPS #33478] Re: Whats goin on?
Hi, Ok, let's that get everything clear. DDT provides DNS services. Not mail services. However, there's a relation between mail and DNS as far as mail routing go (read about MX records for more). We do not provide any kind of SMTP services for DDT users whatsoever. Now, why would someone want to use DDT, or DHIS, or any other such service? To have a name/fqdn/addy that resolves to their IP (and not the other way around, we have no control over IPs, your ISP do). The use of having such a name pointing to your IP is so it is easier to reference your box that gets a often-complicated-and-long name pointing to the IP. Indeed, it is more friendly to type 'vivaldi.ddts.net' than '263-MADR-XL1.libre.retevision.es'! The FQDN is useful for people who want to run a server on a box. The most common types of services are SMTP (the mail), HTTP and SSH. If you have a FQDN that always points to your box, whatever the IP it gets is, you can then run those services and have people reach them using the name 'vivaldi.ddts.net'. That way, people can watch your webpage at http://vivaldi.ddts.net/ or send you mail at [EMAIL PROTECTED] That is very useful and works very well with DDT or any DDT-like service (DHIS is one of them). The problem you are having, Roberto, as nothing to do with DDT but with you being on a dynamic connection. The truth is a static connection is much better suited for servers, but it is possible to run a server on a dynamic connection (much more affordable). One downside is some people will reject your mail (which as nothing to do with DDT).

However, everybody is welcome to use the ddt-user list to ask questions about configuration or even the DUL, we will be glad to help you.

Re: [MAPS #33478] Re: Whats goin on?
I have no idea why you cc'd this email to debian-user, since Debian does NOT rely on the DUL as part of our spam-blocking setup. Because there are some human beings here.. people who are ready to fully understand the stupid and dangerous of using DUL. Just think.. you only have to break the methods they use to find out when an ip is dynamic and voila you can blind thousands of ip's. including your ISP relay ip,. Of course, I don't know why you cc'd RMS either. I'm a little suprised that [EMAIL PROTECTED] wasn't in that cc line too. I dont consider worthy to write the USA president.. and maybe neither RMS.. I was try to cc: Mahatma Gandi.. but unfotunately he is out of this world.. currently. And where do you want me to complain about DUL? must I look for help to struggle this insanity writing to an astrology mailing list?

Re: [MAPS #33478] Re: Whats goin on?
If you find an actual case like this, I'd bet that MAPS would take that range off the list. I bet we will never know.. thats always the case with poor people nobody wants to know about them. But you won't be bothered by reality, since you care about the principle of the thing. Principles are the conclusion of reality. It is for reality for what I am suffering this day which has been a nightmare. And now please lets stop this.. which is senseless.. if you want to struggle the insanity of DUL go ahead if you dont want dont do it.. but let people to know and to think a little bit deeper about what DUL is meaning. My apologies to everybody.. I've never ever had started this thread if I wont consider it was worthy enough even to put into risk my membership to this wonderful list. Thank you!

The usual response to this is Your ISP gives you a mailserver through which to relay mail. Set a smarthost and get over it. Why isn't that sufficient for you? Maybe because you have usually only a limited number of e-mail addresses at your ISP, which you usually have to pay for? Maybe because some ISP's mail relays tend to be down and/or slow. Maybe because the ISP's relay is itself blocked? Maybe because I've found it is impossible here to get a static IP with correct DNS entries (in this country.) Our ISPs seem to think a domain is just a pretty string for after the http:// They offer redirection but nothing more. This wasn't a problem when DUs were mostly analog modems which were clearly unsuited for running MTAs, now we've got cable and xDSL. Oh well... Christian
