Hi all,
Draft Anti-Abuse Working Group Minutes - RIPE 60
Brian said there was some discussion in the Address Policy Working Group about certified routing and revocation of certificates. He said that at the moment there was no real way to stop routing in this way because people route what they want to route.
This might be true, but removing networks from RIPEs databased will also remove all reverse mapping and nameserver entries, right ? No mailserver, that is configured to fight only a bit against spam accepts mail from IPs without a working reverse mapping. So, if RIPE ever wants to punish network abusers, thats an easy way of doing it ... Kind regards, Frank -- PHADE Software - PowerWeb http://www.powerweb.de Inh. Dipl.-Inform.
