| |
I and many other people can no longer post directly to linux-kernel from my normal account, as my ISP (mediaone/roadrunner) is blocking ORBS.ORG's mail relay probes, so ORBS has added mediaone to their blacklist. security@rr.com informs me they have no intention of letting ORBS scan their customers, mentioned that above.net is in the same boat, and pointed me at spam-l@lists.oulu.fi, where this is a hot topic.
I can see ORBS's point of view; when someone reports an abused mail relay at one of roadrunner's customers, ORBS now has no way of checking to see if that mail relay is in fact open.
I'm in the process of switching to another ISP to get around this problem... other MediaOne/RoadRunner customers might want to give security@rr.com some feedback on this issue, since he says he gets fewer than two complaints daily about this. - Dan
