Raymond, Could you please look into this and get back to us - It appears that one of your customers is using the Western Samoan domain space to send spam out to NZ people which is frowned upon in New Zealand and the rest of the world. Being the name holders for the .ws namespace it may be prudent for you to educate your customer on how to do business on the internet or decide as to wether you really want them as a customer. John/Leigh, Have fun :-) -- Steve. At 23:11 16/05/2003 +1200, Keith Davidson wrote:

Who hosts www.domainz.nzl.ws ?

I've just received spams from them: Received: from domainz.nzl.ws ([210.54.181.4]) by bueno.wise.net.nz (8.12.3/8.12.3/Debian-6.3) with ESMTP id h4GAZXoG017086 for ; Fri, 16 May 2003 22:35:52 +1200 Received: from reception [210.54.139.117] by domainz.nzl.ws [210.54.181.4] with SMTP (MDaemon.v3.5.4.R)

Can't traceroute them, falls over after reaching ICONZ and visp.co.nz

Apart from the obvious concerns of them passing off using Domainz's trading name, they're also obviously targeting .nz nameholders and offering an incredible deal of whatevername.nzl.ws for $40 per year...

Domain Registrars Ltd's registered office is located at 22 Kissling Place, St Johns, Auckland and the sole director is Annie Lee.

Spam repeated below, fyi. Any info appreciated.

Would someone at XTRA like to have a look at the mail system? It's not currently accepting port 25 connections...

A quick look at the logs shows it's been dead since around 23:56 last night apart from a couple of 10 minute wondows around an hour ago. A few errors before that even. The online Network status even shows a problem so it must be really bad (I've got a theory that Theresa has to approve these herself) They were advertising for a mail admin a couple of months ago so maybe the new guy pressed the wrong button. -- Simon Lyall. | Newsmaster | Work: simon.lyall(a)ihug.co.nz Senior Network/System Admin | Postmaster | Home: simon(a)darkmere.gen.nz Ihug Ltd, Auckland, NZ | Asst Doorman | Web: http://www.darkmere.gen.nz

My MTA's says it's been happening since about 22:04:02 last night! Gordon Smith wrote:
