One of our clients learned today why exchanging links isn't the best of ideas >_>  On a semi-related note, I just received a text from the regional VP: "Please stop neighing during conference calls.. you're scaring the board"

Your association with CC is to blame there.  CC is well known for having shady 'sub companies' they rotate spammers through - so really with Spamhaus seeing you using CC IPs, it's only natural they assume that you're in on the spammer rotation as well.  Blame the upstream for this one.

We were told the same.  I hope they were more honest with you guys.

Mmm, there's something in there they don't want folks to see.  Perhaps Buffalo looks worse than EGI in SJ.

Oooh, nice.  Added to my list. Incidentally, I recently removed LICD and LFG.  The quality of both has just been shite lately, and I was sick of my RSS feed being filled with Sohmer's begging for money and ridiculous excuses on why he's collected from multiple kickstarters, but keeps...

Those beer goggles aren't worth a damn after you wake up and realize who you crawled into bed with.

I'm still waiting for mtwiscool to step forward and release a Frontpage-developed 'panel beta' during one of these weekly 'new project' embarrassments.

At first, yes.  They'll only list the company appearing on the SWIP, and not the actual owner.  But when either the owner or the SWIP holder has a history of repeat abuse - then aye, they'll assume the SWIP was done to try and be sneaky, and they'll start issuing larger SBLs. Gotta feel bad for...

That would be one of your less arrogant assumptions, actually.  But now we're derailing the thread, and I really have no desire to hear more of your drivel. Back on topic - there are several forks of ConnectBot (including IRSSI Connectbot, which includes special functions necessary for...

His past actions have coloured reception of his commentary.  Based on the empty bragging he employed so shamelessly in the past, it looks to me like he was trying to treat his phone like a status symbol.

Not everyone has something to compensate for. The solution to software issues is not "buy new hardware".  You resolve or replace the issue at hand.

Well this guy's all 'me me me', isn't he?

The tool used is irrelevant.  The reasoning and motivation should be what concerns you.

Understatement of the year -_-;

You are insufferably thick.  This has been explained to you several times now - as a courtesy, I will attempt once more to simplify things to your level. You rent IP space owned by a provider.  The IPs are not yours, and whenever someone runs a WHOIS to check the IP they will see the provider...

They're not YOUR IPs.  The PROVIDER's IPs are blacklisted - you are merely renting the use of them.  Spamhaus has no clue who you are.

...since when is perl 'hipster'? O_ô In any case, I started her on bash and perl to enforce good coding habits.  Once she has those, she can branch out easily into any other language she wants to learn.

If keeping all mail services in-house is a perogative, then it behooves you to ensure that either 1) you own (and can therefore clean) the IP block in question, or 2) rent said IP space directly from a responsible provider that owns and cleans the range. If you're renting IPs from an upstream...

Watch that doesn't come around to bite you, though :P  Got mine started on linux, and now she's developed a complex about as bad as my own >_> Only 10, and already she has a good handle on bash, and has me helping her learn perl.

Going back to my easily obtainable hammer example:  all of our automated and mass email SMTP is pushed through AmazonSES.  We're talking upwards of a hundred-thousand emails a month, for just a couple bucks a month. There is *no excuse* for "being stuck with dirty IPs" when solutions such as...
