thanks rod. that's _precisely_ what i thought, but earthlink seemed so darn sure of themselves that i was beginning to doubt myself. i should've known better.
thanks for verifying my sanity test! :-) this spammer is pernicious! i can't drop earthlink into my tcp wrappers because i have a few friends who have earthlink accounts. i've been sent 8+ spams from this person since 3:00pm today, and when i replied in person asking them to stop, i was sent 3 more for my trouble. i could set up a procmail filter, but i've never been a believer in ignoring spam. we should take an active role in combating it. but if earthlink takes no action, i don't know what else to do... :-( these people are also spamming lugod, and again, we have some users with earthlink accounts that would be dropped along with these people. this totally sucks. :( i'll try sending earthlink another note saying they're wrong... pete begin Rod Roark <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > I would say that the person who replied to you screwed up. > Their system definitely delivered the offending message: > > $ nslookup -sil 207.217.120.218 > Server: 66.51.205.100 > Address: 66.51.205.100#53 > > 218.120.217.207.in-addr.arpa name = bluejay.mail.pas.earthlink.net. > > $ whois 207.217.120.218 > > OrgName: EarthLink Network, Inc. > OrgID: ERTH > > NetRange: 207.217.0.0 - 207.217.255.255 > CIDR: 207.217.0.0/16 > NetName: EARTHLINK-CIDR > NetHandle: NET-207-217-0-0-1 > Parent: NET-207-0-0-0-0 > NetType: Direct Allocation > NameServer: DNS1.EARTHLINK.NET > NameServer: DNS2.EARTHLINK.NET > NameServer: DNS3.EARTHLINK.NET > Comment: ADDRESSES WITHIN THIS BLOCK ARE NON-PORTABLE > RegDate: 1996-10-04 > Updated: 2001-10-09 > > TechHandle: DAE4-ARIN > TechName: Domain Administrator, Administrator > TechPhone: +1-404-815-0770 > TechEmail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > OrgAbuseHandle: ABUSE60-ARIN > OrgAbuseName: ABUSE TEAM > OrgAbusePhone: +1-404-815-0770 > OrgAbuseEmail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > OrgTechHandle: ELNK-ORG-ARIN > OrgTechName: EarthLink, Inc. > OrgTechPhone: +1-404-815-0770 > OrgTechEmail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > -- Rod > http://www.sunsetsystems.com/ > > On Friday 06 December 2002 03:37 pm, Peter Jay Salzman wrote: > > i sent a letter of complaint about spam to earthlink and got a reply > > that included this paragraph: > > > > This report is being returned to you because there appear to > > be no numeric IP addresses in the headers of the reported > > mail that match IP addresses within our network.
