I don't remember that incident - but yes, you don't own the larger netblock that was filtered. I, my filters or my team don't make a habit of filtering covering CIDRs unless there's massive amounts of spam spread across multiple subnets in there. And when that happens, I do like to talk to the ISP and ensure that they address those issues before I relax any filters. --srs On Mon, Dec 19, 2011 at 7:46 PM, russ@consumer.net <russ@consumer.net> wrote:
I have dealt with the abuse desk you ran before if you remember me. I tried to respond to an e-mail from the network you ran and it was blocked. Your abuse desk told me other people on my netblock were spammers and I was supposed to go to my hosting provider and somehow make it stop. I had no idea (or power) to do anything about it and I had no idea what anyone else on the netblock was doing. When I ask for proof of the claims you never sent anything or explained further (although you did unblock me). These are some of the crazy stunts pulled by abuse departments that has no basis in law or common sense.
