FYI - savvis.net listed at rfc-ignorant.org again

Post by sgrayban »

Looks like savvis.net which supplies your mail2 service has been listed again in the rfc-ignorant listing. It's not the first time either. I get no help from them when I get spam from inside there network.

I would suggest finding another provider for your secondary stuff. Savvis.net is notorious in abusing everything right down to abuse issues.

Anyone who is using the rfc-ignorant.org DNSBL - http://www.rfc-ignorant.org/how_to_domain.php - will be blocking your mail server also if they are using the redirect feature.

We don't use them for anything but IP transit service... we've tried to get a PI allocation from ARIN, but so far, they've refused. I don't see how a listing for savvis.net would affect us, since it's coming from our reallocated IP space. We use a /24 from them, which is announced via BGP from us, but that's about it. All the servers are actually in our own datacenter. We don't outsource anything. Anyone reporting spam to them about us is wrong anyway, they should contact abuse@rollernet.us as shown in the SWIP records.

We can't simply change providers. It's a multihomed BGP, not colocation or hosting. Unless we have transit issues, which there is no proof of, there is no cause for us to terminate the service.

A better tool is to use a looking glass to verify propagation for our routes:

We maintain our own BGP announcements. We are AS11170.

Ahh ok -- I didn't know how you got everything setup. Then my post is wrong in this case.

I was worried that your mail2 box was a colo at their DS which probably would have been affected.

We run our own servers for percisely that reason - it's under our control and shielded from issues like you pointed out. Once we get PI space from ARIN, we'll be independent from any ISP and can transparently add/drop BGP peers without anyone noticing.

Something about percentage utilization of our current two /24's isn't high enough. But they won't say exactly what the threshold is before they'll give it to us.

good grief......... just like them to play the guessing games. I had the same problems when I want to get my own IPv6 block.
