    Apparently there was some error somewhere that caused the domain to expire. Hats off to the people at Cisco who got it back up and running so quickly.

    Hat off really?!

    Persons in charge of checking renewal date or in charge of automating the renewal warning just failed the mission they are paid for!

    The domain spamcop.net felt in the hands of a domain parking company Sedo Parking who setup a wildcard DNS that sent phony answers to all *.bl.spamcop.net RBL queries and generated massive email services disruptions across the World!

    Hat off to the people who failed so miserably that a world-wide service that people trust since 1999 was disrupted so badly!

    It could have been even worse if bad actors spam-bot gangsters had profited from the lack of renewal to take control of spamcop.net like it just happened to perl.com.

  2. The spamcop.net domain expired on Jan, 31 2021 today and for a few hours it was parked at Sedo Domain Parking.

    Parking DNS resolvers at Sedo answered all wildcard of *.bl.spamcop.net with IP 91.195.240.87. Misconfigured email services not verifying the meaning of bl.spamcop.net's answer codes to be 127.0.0.1/8 and blocking emails regardless, were amplifying the bad consequences of this outage.

    Unfortunately, as of now, neither the spamcop.net team or someone from the Cisco communication staff has issued a public statement or apology for the disruption of such world-wide significant service outage, likely caused by negligence or hard to excuse mindless cut cost.

    Dear Cisco, Spamcop is a significant service since 1999 even collecting paid subscription for volunteer submissions. I am ok with that if it is properly maintained and work as intended, but here it clearly failed in a very bad way.

     

     

  3. spamcop.net domain expired and for a few hours it was parked.

    Email services improperly not reading bl.spamcop.net answer codes to be 127.0.0.1/8 and blocking emails are the secondary cause of your issue.

    Now neither the spamcop.net team or someone from the Cisco communication staff issued a public statement or apologize for the disruption of such world-wide significant service outage caused by negligence.
