Re: [swinog] Army Service
Is it really the job of the army to teach TCP/IP? Oh shit, where is our tax money going :-( O/T but I can't resist ... is it really the job of the army to protect some embassy using qualified people? (most of them making a job making more or less sense) is it really the job of the army to protect some private reunions like WEF using qualified (you know the rest) is it really the job of the army to clean streets/forest what-ever after a landslide usinq qualified ... (you know the rest) is it really the job of the army to use recon drones to spot pot-smokers in the vicinity of zuerich ... no it's not! but where else can boys (and also some strange girls) play these day with expensive but useless tools? greetings nik ___ swinog mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.init7.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/swinog

Hello From: mark walliser [EMAIL PROTECTED] [..] in the future, while the ones living in ober-hinter-irgenwas-dingen (1000 citizens) will have high-priced-SC-only-offers... that may be - but on the other side living there has also some good thing's ... you don't pay that much for your flat - krankenkassen are often much cheaper than in a urban region and so on. In the whole discussion about public service this fact is very often forgotten (maybe somebody should explain this to ex-monsieur-prix Marti). It would be interesting to have a general consumer index for different regions of our country. As a downtown-telco-user I can't hardly unterstandy why Sepp on his Alm should get the same ADSL oder Fiber or WLL or [put your favourite last mile technoloy in] service for the same price than me. Why should I cross-subside his broadband-access as long as Sepp doensn't help me to pay the rent for my appartment?

Re: [swinog] Problems with Cablecom MX
Hello From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is the braindamaged Cablecom Antispam configuration. If you make to many connections to them during a certain amount of time they automatically add a firewall rule to their ipfilter on mx.cablecom.ch. We've run into this problem at least two times last year. Of course they don't remove it automatically, you have to reach their mailadmin to do so, which isn't quite easy. And well of course, if you reach the guy, he just won't understand why his setup is all crap. yes this sounds familiar to me! Some week's ago we had troubles to reach mx.hispeed.ch and after some barking we got a short because of spam from your servers as answer from cablecom. (but without proof of a spam report at all! Sure we make this very hidden abuse@ entry at RIPE just for our pleasure - like all of you I guess ;-) Just being blocked by ugly iprules is always much better than a clear spam-report. And it seemed like the whole range (different /24's) was blocked (not only the ip's of our mx's) Greetings Nik -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Maillist-Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/swinog%40swinog.ch/

Re: [swinog] Mailempfang wegen SPAM blockiert / Mail receipt because of Spam blocks
Hi Mike It remains after-noticing again that there (still) is NO legal obligation for Provider to prevent Spam. well but there is also no legal obligation to accept emails from anyone. It's our lone decision and within our duty g as a postmaster. A closing from whole IP rank for Mailverkehr consider I against it totally unfit. I doubt even that such measures are right. In any case ones stand it in a glaring contrast to the thought of the free InterNet, because so some innocent InterNet user are punished. And this possibly equal several times - once by a possibly received Spam, then by the blockade of sending, whereby most user due to the error message and call then on a most liable to pay the costs Hotline do not even have to know the reason. poor customers you have :-( According Sheriff Bush and his friends I call this an collateral damage fighting the axis of evil spamers. Maybe you should better use your time for a state of the art abuse handling? At least as far as I remember there have been a lot of complains during the last few month about your company handling (or better not-handling) spam-reports. As a provider you can never avoid spam-actions originating from some bad customers within your network - but you can weaken the consequences with a sound abuse-desk.

Re: [swinog] Mailempfang wegen SPAM blockiert / Mail receiptbecause of Spam blocks
And, you don't have to look for another working SMTP server, when you're travelling around with your notebook. Lots of SMTP servers, for example mail.bluewin.ch, can only be accessed within their own ip ranges. there are a lot of email providers with SMTP-AUTH and/or SMTP-after-POP around. Not to forget all the nice webmail-interfaces ;-) greetings nik -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Maillist-Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/swinog%40swinog.ch/
Re: [swinog] Domain grabbing: nextra.ch
Since I got bounces from @nextra.ch, I thought of checking this domain at nic.ch, and surprise surprise: http://www.switch.ch/id/search-domain.html?dom_id=nextra.ch A customer (had a hosting contract with nextra for his domain) told me some week ago that mhs changed his switch password without any notice nor permission. The dns-change wasn't made with a sammelantrag from switch. As I saw, mhs made a reqeust to get a lost password for this domain at switch and then grabbed the switch mail from the customers inbox not very nice from my point of view. greetings nik -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Maillist-Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/swinog%40swinog.ch/
Re: [swinog] Domain grabbing: nextra.ch
Hi Matthias, I will forward your message to this customer - maybe you can clear this direct with him. As far as I know he's on vacation at the moment and he has nothing to do with wine or so maybe there was a second case? ... Anyway (the reason why this answer sent via swinog): I think grabbing switch-passwords from a customers inbox or mail-queue is never good practics under any circumstances. Switch has a good support-desk with very helpful people and we always got transparent solutions on this way - also in urgent cases. greetings nh - Original Message - From: Matthias Hertzog [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 03, 2003 12:27 AM Subject: Re: [swinog] Domain grabbing: nextra.ch Hello Nik! I cannot remember the domain name at the moment, but we had a very unlucky case during the migration of the nextra services. I can clearly remember that case because of the very rude language used by the ex-nextra customer. I think, it was wine dealer or something like that. We've informed all ex nextra customers about the planned shutdown of the old infrastructure. This happened ONE YEAR after all customers have been gekündigt by T-Systems. In the case metioned above, a person from the company mailed to me: plesae do everything you can to avoid a service interruption. Unfortunatly, the person had no passwords for the domain, but i was able to clearly identify him to be in position to give such orders. To prevent mail losses, we've ordered the nic.ch password and grabbed it in our inbound mailserver queue before it got bounced due to unkonwn user. Afterwards, we've changed the TEC-C and modified the DNS after transferring the zonefiles to dns1.mhs.ch and dns2.mhs.ch. After this, another person of the same company changed the switch data to the old nextra servers. I've changed back and so on. I wanted to prevent any mail losses, changed the password at switch and infromed ALL involved persons by mail. Noone replied, even after re-sending my mails a few times. Some time after, one of the two persons sent me a mail with informations, how he want to arrange his hosting. Minutes later, i've sent the new switch password to that person. Since that, i've heard nothing from that company. mhs did NEVER changed the holder informations of a customers domain. One can say, that grabbing the password was illegal. I would not disagree in normal cases. In this case, i was acting on behalf of the customer, so, for me, that's okay. Maybe some lawyers in here can give more informations on that. However, mhs did NOT: - stolen the domain nextra.ch - stolen any domain of any ex-nextra customer. Best wishes, Matthias BTW: Nextra (Schweiz) AG made the mistake to register some domains for customers as Holder=Nextra instead of Holder=Customer. We've figured that out, assured correct payment of the domains and requested several holder changes to the real holder. (Holder=Customer). I think, this fair and correct, the customers loved that service from mhs. Some of them subscribed for hosting services from our company, some of them did not. All's well with that. M.H.
