They've got some really smart people who I'm sure could whip up some code to take named logs on stdin and add IP's to a database and send an email to the appropriate contacts (as found in the regional registry for the IP space). Just because they could have done that, doesn't mean I think they should have taken the time to do it. They should have posted to inet-access and nanog. Clearly the surprise cutoff[1] this morning had a profound operational impact on mail servers all over the world. But no...they're too busy posting ALL CAPS TITLED press releases bragging about things most operators probably couldn't care less about to news.admin.net-abuse.email. MAPS seems to have been taken over by flakey pointy hairs. I wonder how many network operators actually regularly read news.admin.net-abuse.email? I didn't until I heard it was the one place MAPS had officially said anything about this change. [1] Yes...it was a surprise. It didn't happen when they said it would happen. Therefore, there was no way to anticipate when it would really happen. And for those who don't read inet-access, nanog, or nanae, they're probably still wondering why the MAPS BLs are broken and why the MAPS website has been down every time they've tried to go there and see if there's any word about why the BLs are broken. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jon Lewis *[email protected]*| I route System Administrator | therefore you are Atlantic Net | _________ http://www.lewis.org/~jlewis/pgp for PGP public key_________
