Spam from 'Rocketmails.ch'
by Benoît Panizzon 28 Dec '20

28 Dec '20

Dear List Today we received several delisting request for URI's and IP Addresses somehow associated with Newsletters sent by 'Rocketmails.ch'. The listings were caused during the last 14 days or so by multiple customers reporting those emails as spam and claiming not having subscribed, nor being a customer of the advertising company. And I guess I can figure out why... Quote: "Sie erhalten dieses Mailing, weil Sie sich bei unseren Aktionsseiten oder der unserer Werbepartner mit der Email-Adresse XXXX eingetragen haben." There is no mention of WHAT partner or WHAT website they allegedly subscribed. So that could also explain that they don't know the company whose products are advertised via Rocketmails. So for the recipient this is just spam. Anyone else seeing these and knowing more about how the transfer of such personal data happens between those partner and what kind of partners those are? So far no spamtrap hits, so this does not look like harvested addresses. -- Mit freundlichen Grüssen -Benoît Panizzon- @ HomeOffice und normal erreichbar -- I m p r o W a r e A G - Leiter Commerce Kunden ______________________________________________________ Zurlindenstrasse 29 Tel +41 61 826 93 00 CH-4133 Pratteln Fax +41 61 826 93 01 Schweiz Web http://www.imp.ch ______________________________________________________

Handling of UCE / RBL while minor misconfigurations
by Mueller Urs SBB CFF FFS 27 Oct '20

27 Oct '20

Hello list I am writing on behalf of a colleague who is operating a small hosting business, mainly focused on the setup of the cms and consulting. He is not on the list and asked me to put his words into it. He had the following dispute with an ISP, but I will let him speak (translation via deepl reviewed by me). --- We run a small hosting business on three managed servers, which we rent from a well-known Swiss ISP and host our customers (SMEs and individuals) there. We have had the misfortune three times that the IP of one of our servers got on the blacklist "UCEprotect" through no fault of our own: http://www.uceprotect.net In each of these cases a Zurich-based ISP was at fault, who apparently is involved in this blacklist - he didn't want to tell us how exactly, but in the first case he still apologized and he was able to remove the IP from the blacklist at short notice without any problems. Therefore we assume that he has a great influence there. The first times the IP was blacklisted because there was a chaos with a telephone system (short: bounces on non-existent addresses). Last week the IP came back on UCEprotect because a customer had edited his SPF entry incorrectly (he forgot to enter the IP of the server) - a single mail from our customer to a customer of the mentioned Zurich provider was already enough for an entry on the RBL. There was neither a spam dispatch nor a spamtrap; the wrong SPF automatically led to a blacklisting of the whole IP with more than 200 hosting customers, who then of course got mail problems. It would be normal and justifiable for a mail to be classified as spam because of a wrong SPF record. However, we find it very questionable that a whole IP is "dragged into the abyss" because of this. Especially since we have been fighting against spam for almost 25 years, keeping our servers clean and thus "fighting on the same side", it is all the more irritating to have such obstacles put in the way by this provider. The fact that customers can adjust the DNS entries and thus the SPF record themselves is normal for many providers. A single hosting customer's mistake should not also affect his provider and dozens of other customers. The methods used for an automatic entry on the blacklist UCEprotect seem at least questionable. I would like to show the provider that he means well, but that it can easily hit the wrong people - and would be grateful for input. After the first case still said "sorry, you've been good to me", there are no more answers to the question whether he really considers these methods to be useful. What do you think can be done here? I don't have time and money for a legal dispute, and blocking any traffic to his IPs to prevent damage to our IPs would probably not be clean either. --- So, what is your opinion on the behavior of this ISP? Me, Urs, I am with my colleague and I think, it's not acceptable to block a whole IP just while receiving one or a small number of mail without a correct SPF. Thank you your thoughts, I will collect it and send it to my colleague.
