SORBs blacklisting Paradise MTAs
by neil gardner 31 Jan '06

31 Jan '06

Hi gents (and gentesses) I reported to Paradise that Sorbs was blacklisting a particular Paradise MTA last night (details below) and their response was that sorbs refuse to whitelist them so there's nothing they can do about it... The further state that "SORBS automatically delist the servers after a 48 hour time period, and mail passing through the once affected mail server should flow as per normal." yet the information pasted below seems to indicate that the particular IP I reported has been on the list since Dec 11th 2005. They're spinning me a line right? The Sorbs record hasn't been updated since Dec 11th! *--- Info from sorbs as of 5 minutes ago *--- Address: 203.96.152.180 Record Created: Sun Dec 11 13:53:04 2005 GMT Record Updated: Sun Dec 11 13:53:04 2005 GMT Additional Information: Received: from linda-1.paradise.net.nz (bm-1a.paradise.net.nz [203.96.152.180]) by vampire.isux.com (Postfix) with ESMTP id 58986B90C; Sun, 11 Dec 2005 13:52:40 +0000 (UTC) Currently active and flagged to be published in DNS *--- end info from sorbs *--- Why would Paradise deliberately avoid resolving this issue when pointed out to them? If anyone from Paradise / Telstraclear would like to jump in and explain why your helpdesker effectively refused to do anything about the situation then I'm all ears. Yes, I did report to Paradise through the appropriate mechanism, then I replied to their automated response, then this morning I phoned to report it and had my number taken (no-one has phoned back) and a few minutes ago I received the reply to the original message saying they can't do anything.

If it's any help - and I'd expect most people here to know this anyway - Paradise pop up on RBL's so often, I've had to add a whitelist for them in my system, or most of the people I know (who use cable) get blocked. This isn't a new thing at all. :) Cheers Nic > -----Original Message----- > From: neil gardner [mailto:neil.gardner(a)alliedtelesyn.co.nz] > Sent: Wednesday, 1 February 2006 2:12 p.m. > To: nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz > Subject: [nznog] SORBs blacklisting Paradise MTAs > > Hi gents (and gentesses) > > I reported to Paradise that Sorbs was blacklisting a > particular Paradise MTA last night (details below) and their > response was that sorbs refuse to whitelist them so there's > nothing they can do about it... > > The further state that "SORBS automatically delist the > servers after a 48 hour time period, and mail passing through > the once affected mail server should flow as per normal." yet > the information pasted below seems to indicate that the > particular IP I reported has been on the list since Dec 11th 2005. >

Update re NZNOG 06 Pricing
by Mark Foster 31 Jan '06

31 Jan '06

In light of recent enquiries, The Organising Committee for NZNOG 06 can confirm that the rates-per-person for attendance at NZNOG06 are likely to be in the ballpark of $250/person. If anything they will wind up lower than this, as sponsorship arrangements are finalised, etc. Note: This does NOT include accomodation, but it does include morning coffee, lunch, and afternoon tea, as well as the conference dinner. More info as it comes to hand; this info will be added to the nznog.org site when I get somewhere that allows SSH out its firewall. :) I hope this info is enough for people to get their respective managers approvals for our excellent-value-for-money event. The guest-speaker list will be further updated tonight as well, so take a peek at nznog.org tomorrow for the latest. Cheers Mark, For the NZNOG Organising Committee.

Notification of NZRR Database changes
by NZRR Database Notifications 29 Jan '06

29 Jan '06

Dear Colleague, This is to notify you that some object(s) in NZRR database which you either maintain or are listed as to-be-notified have been added, deleted or changed. These objects are used to configure the various NZIX route servers (http://nzix.net/) so you can expect the relevant servers to be reloaded in the near future. The reloading of the servers is staggered over a period of time so that if you are peering with both servers at an exchange, you can maintain at least one BGP session at all times and consequently a full set of routes. --- PREVIOUS OBJECT: aut-num: AS24385 as-name: NZRR-AS24385 descr: 3CIX admin-c: RPA1-NZRR tech-c: RPA1-NZRR import: from AS64646 accept ANY AND NOT {0.0.0.0/0} AND NOT fltr-bogons export: to AS64646 announce AS24385:RS-ROUTES AND NOT {0.0.0.0/0} AND NOT fltr-bogons notify: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net notify: nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz notify: asjl(a)citylink.co.nz mnt-by: MAINT-NZRR-NZ changed: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net 20050701 source: NZRR REPLACED BY: aut-num: AS24385 as-name: NZRR-AS24385 descr: 3CIX admin-c: RPA1-NZRR tech-c: RPA1-NZRR import: from AS64646 accept ANY AND NOT {0.0.0.0/0} AND NOT fltr-bogons import: from AS24385:AS-PRIVATE accept AS24385:RS-ROUTES:PeerAS import: from AS24385:AS-PUBLIC accept AS24385:RS-ROUTES:PeerAS export: to AS64646 announce AS24385:RS-ROUTES AND NOT {0.0.0.0/0} AND NOT fltr-bogons export: to AS24385:AS-PRIVATE announce AS24385:RS-ROUTES AND NOT {0.0.0.0/0} AND NOT fltr-bogons export: to AS24385:AS-PUBLIC announce AS24385:RS-ROUTES AND NOT {0.0.0.0/0} AND NOT fltr-bogons notify: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net notify: nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz notify: asjl(a)citylink.co.nz mnt-by: MAINT-NZRR-NZ changed: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net 20060130 source: NZRR

Strange NZ Domain Names and Contents
by Craig Whitmore 26 Jan '06

26 Jan '06

I was looking on Google this morning and came across these strange groups of .NZ domain names as below. Most of them are just recently been registered. (Maybe they are domains which have just become available from others who didn't want them and they where picked up to hopefully to get hits. The name of the sites have nothing to do with anything which is on the sites and all they do is link to lots of places and banners. I can't see anything really illegal on them (apart from linking to know spam/buy viagra etc online sites). Just a heads up for people. Does the NZ Internet Community want people registering 100's of generic .nz domain names in the future to just to get hits and advertise others? Thanks Craig http://www.globalchessenterprises.co.nz http://www.aa-auckland.org.nz www.haynesfilm.co.nz http://gt40.co.nz http://www.fastfinish.co.nz http://www.dissidentvoice.org.nz www.promocodirect.co.nz/ www.heavyloungesuite.co.nz www.farmbarn.co.nz http://www.fastaccess.co.nz/ http://www.ecmtoa.co.nz/ http://www.shaktimigrant.org.nz http://www.infobrok.co.nz
