Germany: using blacklists now illegal?
by Tonnerre LOMBARD 10 Dec '07

10 Dec '07

Salut, In case Az. 7 O 80/07, the District Court of Lüneburg has ruled that the use of blacklists for mail filtering is an illegal process. The court thereby confirmed the view of a known spammer that the fact that mails from his servers were deleted by the SPAM filter was an act of censorship. According to the ruling, the fact that a mail server is used to transmit soleily SPAM is not sufficient to block mails from it entirely. Blocking a single mail address would have been sufficient, according to the court. However, even this step would only have been acceptable in order to prevent an immanent danger of a virus attack. Well, pretty bad... Tonnerre

I fully disagree. Making us fear "the next law will be way worse" just doesn't apply. If the Swiss people say "no" to this law, how would they ever say "yes" to a law wich is even worse? No way. About international treaties: Thank god the Swiss people have the last word here, too. The government signs a treaty, and the people vote against it? Cancelled! That's why we got to vote about joining the EEA (EEE/EWR), Schengen, the EU, the UN, etc. That's why we got to vote over treaties like the Bilateral Agreements I and II, donating one billion to Eastern Europe, etc. The government would have liked to sign all these treaties, but the people said "yes" to some and "no" to others. That's why often in these treaties I guess the Swiss government puts a phrase like "it will enter into action except if the Swiss people vote against it". Peter -- Psssst!

green.ch rogue?
by Bernhard Schmidt 05 Dec '07

05 Dec '07

Hello everyone, we (AS12816, LRZ Leibniz Computing Centre Munich, a regional network for scientific and educational entities in the Munich area) are being hit by regular spamruns originated from 80.253.80.0/24 for several months now. This network belongs to inetnum: 80.253.80.0 - 80.253.80.255 netname: JEFTEX-NET descr: Dedicated Servers New country: CH admin-c: JIL9-RIPE tech-c: NEXL1-RIPE status: ASSIGNED PA mnt-by: CH-GREEN-MNT mnt-lower: CH-GREEN-MNT mnt-routes: CH-GREEN-MNT source: RIPE # Filtered role: Jeftex International Ltd address: Petronas Twin Towers address: Kuala Lumpur 50088 address: Malaysia abuse-mailbox: abuse(a)jeftexint.com admin-c: OS3984-RIPE tech-c: OS3984-RIPE nic-hdl: JIL9-RIPE source: RIPE # Filtered mnt-by: NEXLINK-MNT route: 80.253.80.0/20 descr: green.ch ag, Brugg, Switzerland origin: AS21494 mnt-by: CH-GREEN-MNT source: RIPE # Filtered The spamruns look always the same, they last for a few hours with tens of thousands of connects from various addresses in this /24. All mails have the sender set to "<someimportantgermanword><random>@<largegermanmaildomain>". Examples postfix/smtpd[21095]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from unknown[80.253.80.19]: 554 5.7.1 <unknown[80.253.80.19]>: Client host rejected: Access denied; from=<anwaltsiuvo(a)freenet.de> to=<xxx(a)stud.uni-muenchen.de> proto=SMTP helo=<freenet.de> postfix/smtpd[21579]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from unknown[80.253.80.23]: 554 5.7.1 <unknown[80.253.80.23]>: Client host rejected: Access denied; from=<bankrjadu(a)t-online.de> to=<xxx(a)ph.tum.de> proto=SMTP helo=<t-online.de> and so on. Most recipients are valid. I don't have any message content as this /24 is blocked for good, but it is annoying nethertheless. I've tried to contact abuse(a)jeftexint.com and abuse(a)green.ch without success, I've called them (they referred me to their expensive 0900 hotline and asked me to send a fax) and sent a fax. No response to any of this. Unfortunately they are not listed on major RBLs yet because most of them seem not to accept submissions but rather rely on their own spamtraps. I've done some survey among the DENOG users and found that while some of the users have no hit at all, other destinations are heavily targetted. Users outside of the german speaking area don't seem to be affected at all. I'm trying to find a way to submit them to Spamhaus (which we have a paid feed for), but this might take some time. Is AS21494 known to be irresponsive to abuse complaints? Does anyone know some way to get in contact with them? I'm seriously considering blackholing the whole ASN, but I'm not sure whether this is just a spammerheaven or something important. Any input is appreciated.

Which Hosting Pannel can you recommend?
by Benoit Panizzon 30 Nov '07

30 Nov '07

Hi all ScoutNet Switzerland (www.scout.ch) is an association offering hosted services to the swiss guide and scout movement and other scouting groups in switzerland. We have the urgent need to renew our hosting platform. We did try to develop an own environement exactly fitting our needs for the last maybe three years, but we had to conclude this is not possible on voluntary base. Now we want to evaluate which available solutions might cover most of our needs. So SWINOG probably is not the badest place to ask what others use and what the your experiences with the solution your use are. Scale: - About 200 Groups having a website with an own domain. Mostly quite simple things but also some Typo3, Gallery and other resource consuming applications. - Up to 10'000 Email Accounts. Main Needs: - DNS - LAMP Server, preferably running Debian or a derivate. - Mailserver supporting IMAP + SMTP Authentication + Webmail + Listserver like Mailman. - Customer can do most himself. As less as possible support need. - Setting up news Customer without need of root access to the server (preferably via a admin web gui) Would-Be-Nice-To-Haves: - GroupWare like Interoperatibily Tools working cross customer. - Accountancy System - IPv6 - Sendmail/MIMEDefang/SpamAssassin/ClamAV (from my point of view the best combination to flexibly filter emails). - Scalable (control multi phyical servers from one 'admin' instance which could have dedicated funktions or even fail-over ability) So what commercial or non commercial Hosting Pannel Software do you use or do know which would best fit those requirementes? There is money around to buy something if it's realy 'the solution'. (oh, if some hoster would like to have us as customer, this also would be an option, but as scouting works on voluntary base and we try to offer everything mostly for free to our 'customer', we have no financial ressources for recuring fees - sponsoring could be negotiated) Kind regards -Benoît Panizzon- -- SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM / Hormel's new miracle meat in a can Tastes fine, saves time. / If you want something grand, / Ask for SPAM! - Hormel's 1937 jingle for SPAM Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia sh: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/-phobia
