Nice going, Gadi -- let's insult someone who does a good job of protecting your network from his customers.

Reminder: Gadi isn't a native English speaker.  I understood "Take care of
their own end first" to mean "please do BCP38" -- it polices your "own" end.


I spend at least 8 hours a week tracking down attacks originating from non-BCP38 networks. This is still a real problem, and the idea that BCP-38 is some fad that is irrelevant now ... I have no words for this kind of idiocy. Everyone should be doing BCP-38. ...

Hopefully, we all agree!  That's why it's been a "Best Current Practice"
for a decade or so....
