Re: Why are you bouncing my mail to Cypherpunks?

The antispam assholes suddenly blocked domain ix.netcom.com. (an amazing thing to do, all in all, and shows how far away from reality can people be carried out by religion) It turned out that sendmail at our mail relay site was ckecking their "blackhole DNS database". I deleted all the rules that refer to them and now things seem to be OK. I am sorry for your troubles, Bill. Thanks for letting me know. igor Bill Stewart wrote:
Hi, Igor - this bounced. Is it because I sent it as stewarts@ix.netcom.com instead of bill.stewart@pobox.com (which is how I subscribe, through cyberpass), or is RBL blocking Netcom again, or is something else wrong?
Thanks; Bill

From Computer Underground Digest
Date: Tue, 28 Apr 1998 11:06:30 -0700 From: Jeremy Lassen <jlassen@AX.COM> Subject: File 9--India's INSAT hacked
Space Age Publishing's India correspondent B. R. Rao reports that "hackers" have succeeded in stealing transponder time on board India's domestic communications satellite, INSAT. The Network Ops. Control Center(NOCC)of India's Dept. of Telecommunications is "...in the process of identifying the culprits".
The director of NOCC confirms that a reward has been offered to anyone who can provide information that helps identify the culprits. Reports indicate the NOCC is aware that "...anybody in possession of the technical details of INSAT and its frequency ranges can at regular intervals tap into its transponders and transmit data free across the globe."
I know this is rather vague, but I hadn't read about this anywhere else, and thought that the CUD's readers might find it interesting. Anybody need some transponders time? :)

Well in all fairness I filter out netcom.com messages (I do have an exception for Bill). With the exception of Bill's posts netcom is right up there with aol, compuserve, and a few others where if it's not spam it's some crap from the clue-impaired. - -- - --------------------------------------------------------------- William H.
