Contact to mail.swisscom.com (or sharedit.ch / itoper.local) postmaster?
by Benoit Panizzon 31 Jul '26

31 Jul '26

Hi We have one customer with their MX on mail.swisscom.com. Since about two months, our customer experiences huge delays (we talk about days and even weeks) when receiving our emails (mostly affected: PDF Invoices but also happened with other simple text test emails without attachments). From what I see from a header of an affected email delayed 48 hours, supplied by the customer, the delay happens 'internally' between: mail.swisscom.com (sg007451.sharedit.ch) and pps.reinject (sg007430.itoper.local [127.0.0.1]) Our customer was not yet able to get a contact at Swisscom to explain the cause and to find the cause or how fix it (also because there seem to be several parties, including government involved in running this service and it's not clear which party is in charge. An request for help to the RIPE contact for the IP range remained unanswered. Have others observed similar issues? I could imagine all PDF emails somehow get quarantined and have to manually be release by 'some human', but our customer is not aware of such a functionality. Does anyone how know operates sharedit.ch or itoper.local and cold start an investigation?

BGP/RPKI hygiene checker + monitoring for small operators (free check, FR/EN)
by N&R consulting 22 Jul '26

22 Jul '26

Hi all, first post here from a neighbour in France, so a quick intro: I run Sentinelle Routage, a small French BGP/RPKI monitoring service aimed at small and mid-size operators (hijack/leak alerts, RPKI-invalid detection, ROA hygiene, loss of visibility). Two things that might be useful to this list: - A free, no-signup checker that grades an ASN's routing hygiene (ROA coverage, RPKI-invalids, overly permissive maxLength per RFC 9319, IRR consistency): https://sentinelle-routage.fr (EN available) - A sample of the monitoring report we generate (fictional network, RFC 5398/5737 resources): https://sentinelle-routage.fr/rapport-exemple.pdf Under the hood it runs on RIS data (RISwhois + RIS Live, used with attribution) and a self-hosted Routinator instance, no RIPEstat involved. Feedback from operators here is very welcome, especially on the maxLength/RFC 9319 warnings: too noisy, or useful? Some background on why we flag overly permissive maxLength: https://sentinelle-routage.fr/roa-maxlength.html Best, Abdelaziz El Borgi N&R Consulting / Sentinelle Routage https://sentinelle-routage.fr

RTBH Support Across the Industry
by James Bensley 03 Jul '26

03 Jul '26

Dear Community, We see that RTBH is not as effective as it could be, for various reason, just a few include: * Not all networks support RTBH. * Networks that do support RTBH implement it differently to each other. * There is no one place where one can easily find the info for how to use RTBH with a given network. * Operators have different ideas about how / when / where / why someone should / shouldn’t use RTBH. To this end, we have created the first of two surveys. This first one is quantitative and captures how networks have implemented RTBH and provides (1) a public repository which anyone can use to look-up the RTBH details for their peers/upstreams, and (2) an insight into the (mis-)alignment of RTBH implementations across the industry. Please take the time to fill out the short survey for your own network (even if you don’t support RTBH!), and if you can, please fill it out for other networks where you know how they have implemented RTBH (e.g., peers you use RTBH with): https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScg2Bvr_14onOtZRdoK2SNd0kCHFtqsdw-… (^ No login required) The data ends up in this public repository (you can of course make a pull request directly if you want): https://remotely-triggered-black-hole.github.io/rtbh/ The second survey we are working on will be qualitative, to gather information from the industry community on why you do / don’t support RTBH, when do you use it, how do you think the routing should be secured, etc. The long term goal is to use the data from both surveys as input in to a community effort to improve RTBH alignment across the industry and improve it’s effectiveness for all (e.g. maybe we produce a new BCOP for implementing RTBH, or usage guidelines for blackholing, or maybe a new RFC is required to secure the filtering; regardless, the first step is to gather data about the status quo and review that data to get a baseline of where we are at today). Any questions, please let me know, and thank you for your time and help, it is appreciated. With kind regards, James.

What Makes NOGs Tick
by Steven Glogger 29 Jun '26

29 Jun '26

hi all, A recent RIPE Labs article by Alastair Strachan explores the results of two 2026 surveys involving more than 500 NOG participants and 27 organizers across the RIPE region. The findings reinforce something many of us already experience: successful NOGs are built on community first, conferences second. https://labs.ripe.net/author/alastair_strachan/what-makes-nogs-tick/ Perhaps the most important conclusion is also the simplest: People don't come to NOGs only for the presentations—they come for the community Happy reading and see you at next swinog :) greetings -steven
