A while back they were blocking all of APNIC address ranges because they didn't have a contact email addresses in ARIN's whois database. The again such heavy-handed blocking isn't confined small anti-spam organisations like RFC-ignorant or Spews. New Zealand and Australian ISPs have to deal all the time with large providers who decide to block large address ranges. PBI had a email block for 202/8 a month or 3 back (not sure if it's gone yet) and another medium sized North American provider (whos name escapes me) currently blocks mail from 202/7 . At least with RFC-ignorant you know who to contact and they have proper records of what they are blocking, with other organisations you usually have to jump though about half a dozen people till you find someone to actually look at the filters and realize they were put in by some nightship admin the week before because he got a spam via some open relay in Korea. -- Simon Lyall. | Newsmaster | Work: [email protected] Senior Network/System Admin | Postmaster | Home: [email protected] ihug, Auckland, NZ | Asst Doorman | Web: http://www.darkmere.gen.nz
