This relates more the mail admin, than firewall admin, but many of us wear many hats and this one is pretty important--being as the DNSbl in question is (was?) one of the most widely-used ones on the 'net. As many of your *should* be aware: relays.osirusoft.com has been experiencing problems. As of today, ISPs began reporting that non-dialup, dedicated circuits were apparently being reported by relays.osirusoft.com as dialups. Curious, I checked my business DSL circuit's IP address. (Note that my ISP sells no dialup, or even dynamic DSL.) $ rblcheck -lt 64.32.196.134 64.32.196.134 : relays.osirusoft.com : listed "Please stop using relays.osirusoft.com" Somebody checked, and it looks like relays.osirusoft.com has a "*" wildcard entry to 127.0.0.2 for all zones. This means that *every* IP address checked against *any* relays.osirusoft.com zone will show up as a "hit." If you reject on any of those zones, you'll reject everything, from every host. Anybody who is still using relays.osirusoft.com had maybe better stop doing so. Immediately. Yes, I recognize the irony in trying to get the word out via email ;). -- Jim Seymour | "Some of the lies are so strange it jseymour () LinxNet com | makes you wonder about the spammer's LinxNet Spam Files: | sanity." http://www.LinxNet.com/misc/spam | - Ed Foster, "The Gripe Line" 6/24/02 _______________________________________________ firewall-wizards mailing list firewall-wizards () honor icsalabs com http://honor.icsalabs.com/mailman/listinfo/firewall-wizards
