Thread: anyone know what the deal with 64.117.224.149 is?
Does anyone know what the deal with 64.117.224.149 is? It looks like some spammer has gotten hold of the various pgsql mailing lists and is spamming the hell out of it. Could this be due to being hosted at Rackspace? I'm getting the mailing list mail just fine. I have they pgsql.com and postgresql.org domains whitelisted and it's working. But I am wondering what those other mail attempts are from 64.117.224.149, which has no reverse DNS so I can't identify it. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- | Phil Howard - KA9WGN | Dallas | http://linuxhomepage.com/ | | phil-nospam@ipal.net | Texas, USA | http://ka9wgn.ham.org/ | -----------------------------------------------------------------

relay3.pgsql.com is 64.117.224.149. If you're blocking traffic from
there, you are probably losing about a third of the PG list traffic
since a few days ago.
It'd probably be nice if Marc warned people when he was about to add a
new relay machine, so that those of us who run IP-based filters could
be sure to whitelist it...

Ack, never even thought of that, sorry ... will try and remember to do so in the future ...

The reverse DNS was not working on it when I posted. It seems to be working now. Postfix will soft-bounce (450) on failure to get reverse DNS since it can be a transient DNS failure. Now that RDNS is working I'll probably get a little spike flowing in. Thanks for getting the RDNS working. Yes, if people are whitelisting by IP address, knowing these in advance would help. This is one reason I prefer domain based whitelisting. Some day I hope to blacklist the whole internet and whitelist only the good parts. But that's for another mailing list. Now back to our regularly scheduled program. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- | Phil Howard - KA9WGN | Dallas | http://linuxhomepage.com/ | | phil-nospam@ipal.net | Texas, USA | http://ka9wgn.ham.org/ | -----------------------------------------------------------------
