I am curious as to why open proxies, compromised hosts, trojans and routing games are not considered operational issues simply because the vehicle being discussed is spam.
Susan did not say it wasn't an operational issue. She said there are other lists which focus on that issue. There are many subjects of interest to operators which occasionally flare up on NANOG, but then move to other lists. BIND issues concern network operations, but a namedroppers list exists for the topic. Peering is of operational interest, but the model-peer mailing list exists for the topic. Network time synchronization if of interest to operators but then the ntp newsgroup exists for the topic. Network security is of interest to operators, but then nsp security mailing lists exists for the topic. Address hijacking is of interest to operators, but then the hijack mailing list exists for the topic. Not every operators' forum must discuss spam. There is a reason why more than one mailing list or forum on different topics exist on the Internet. I now return you to your meta-discussion whether the topic is on topic for a particular forum. If you believe in zero tolorance, should the forum moderator report us to our ISPs for network abuse and terminate our Internet connection for discussion something the forum moderators considers off topic?
