I have this very odd email address found with one of our employees.... <hidden_user@172.17.0.1> Here's my questions: - Given that 1918 deals with allocation issues for "private Internets",
is
there a recording entity of this special address space beyond the formal IANA, which details the distribution of data from any "private Internet" once it enters the public Internet vice versa ? - Whom to anyone's knowledge is known to be using (for special projects)
or
perhaps misusing this 172.17.0.1 ?
This mail is likely from a spammer or (even more likely) from a misconfigured sender behind a NAT gateway. There are lots of folks using addresses in this range on the private nets; some of it, unfortunately leaks to the Internet (all to no good). Tony Rall
