The block is 167.206.5.0/24. The block got listed sometime in the last 10 days or so.
On which list?
I have refused mail from that range ever since it came to my attention that Cablevision is so devoid of email clues that they send virus notifications to addresses associated with virus-infected mail. After getting a few dozen of these in one day last September from machines in 167.206.5.0/24, I stopped accepting any mail from that range as it is clearly managed by imbeciles.
CableVision has a bunch of other customer dynamic IPs, I have a bunch of those on my local blacklist and I'm sure other lists carry them as well.
The block in question does not appear to be a customer use block which is what might present false positives. I've verified that at least some of CableVision's MTAs are on this block.
Yes, because Cablevision runs their MTA's idiotically and they are a menace to the rest of the net.
Of course this may not be the only block that has been listed that contains official MTAs, just one that I received a false positive report on.
Just thought this info might help others.
Well, maybe...
I have gotten to the point where I essentially do not accept mail from ISP's who have a lot of clueless Windows users shovelling messages through their MTA's except for mail aimed at tagged addresses. The only large US provider I can think of whose main MTA's have not ended up on my blacklist as chronic MS wormware sources (or in the cases of the worse fools like CV, "we blocked a worm that was aimed at you or claimed to be from you" sources) is AOL, because they figured out very fast after the first address-forging worm that doing that having their malware detector do anything other than drop the mail is pointless and annoying.
