It was one of the _first_ things I setup... ;-) In answer to all who wanted to know, the company claim to be 'The Electric Mail Company', aka 'electric.net'. The IP they scanned from was 199.175.137.131. They own (i.e. have registered from ARIN the entire class 'c' of 199.175.137. There connected via MCI net, and - ending in a hole bunch of routers without any reverse DNS entries (how quaint)... The 'relay' at their end appears to be 199.175.137.131 - though I'd bet it probably changes on a daily basis... Someone's suggested I write to MCI, and kindly provided links to their policy... I will be writing, on the premise doing something is better than nothing... Thanks to everyone who offered help & suggestions - I don't want this thread to go on too long (as I'm sure theres better places to discuss this), Regards, Karl Pielorz To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
