Re: What a non issue. Dear rizwan602 (if that really is your name);
You write:
"all of a sudden SPEWS marks our entire subnet causing innocent neighbors to that spammer to be listed w/o cause."
From your own descriptions, I am confident that you are the cause.
"The CORRECT method would be to give a 30 day notice or something similar to remove the offending system from the network so that the ISP has a CHANCE to fix the problem."
WRONG. In your case 30 days would be a minimum; a guideline. If you want readers to believe that it takes you that long to get on top of this problem, as you state it, then I suggest 3 months on RBL before hearing your reasons for being taken off. One of the reasons would needs include some credible documentation that you have basic internet savvy; say grade 10 or equivalent. Even a 2-day workshop would help. It would then be reasonable, based on your own testimony on how long things take in your world, to allow you a couple of months to absorb the information and have a CHANCE to apply it.
"You [noone 1] are assuming that we only respond to SPEWS activity.Why would you assume that given the above example?"
Who are you trying to kid?? You did none of the 3 exculpatory things you mention, and you know this just as well as the folks at Spamhaus know it. You only state these 3 things as hypotheticals,... "what if I had done these 3 things?". .....as if that is supposed to get you off the hook. You got RBL'd precicesly because you *didn't* do these things, even though by including them in your 'whine' you have made it clear you know you *should* have done them.
Your clients got gagged with the RBL because of your, "LAZY and IRRESPONSIBLE ACTIVITY!", not because Spamhausers didn't do their job.
Noone 1 is right in calling you on this. The only reason this occured "all of a sudden", is because you were asleep at your desk until teach came along and gave you a cuff upside. If you aren't excercising due diligence and control, you and yours are precisely the reason the internet needs RBLs. Your protestations contrariwise carry about as much weight as a DWI blaming the judge for his driving suspension. |
