mrmaxx Posted April 26, 2004 Posted April 26, 2004 I'm able (with VERY little work) to resolve a URL that SpamCop misses... SpamCop says: Tracking link: http://www.thesafe307medications.biz/g31 Cannot resolve http://www.thesafe307medications.biz/g31 However, on my linux box at home I get this: [john[at]slave1 john]$ nslookup Note: nslookup is deprecated and may be removed from future releases. Consider using the `dig' or `host' programs instead. Run nslookup with the `-sil[ent]' option to prevent this message from appearing. > server NS1.BEER99.BIZ Default server: NS1.BEER99.BIZ Address: 219.234.95.68#53 > www.thesafe307medications.biz Server: NS1.BEER99.BIZ Address: 219.234.95.68#53 www.thesafe307medications.biz canonical name = thesafe307medications.biz. Name: thesafe307medications.biz Address: 200.161.196.83 Maybe SC is being blocked? Dunno. But I thought I ought to bring it to the attention of the deputies! Tracking URL: http://www.spamcop.net/sc?id=z445705846z61...2b5ce92d0b61d9z for all the good it's gonna do (since SC doesn't store URLs anyway! )
Spambo Posted April 26, 2004 Posted April 26, 2004 They could be playing DNS games, or they could be blocking DNS queries from SC, or it could be a case where DNS propagation is involved. FWIW, if I try to resolve www.thesafe307medications.biz I get: · 04/26/04 16:47:10 -0500 dns www.thesafe307medications.biz · No data of requested type

You've apparently not checked a Tracking URL in a while .. some terra-byte drives were installed a while back ... one of the options in your Tracking URL for insatnce is "View Entire Message" <g>

Just curious... I'm on the Alltel network, so maybe I've got a better route... I did have to use their own name server to look 'em up, so maybe that's why I'm able to look 'em up when an automated lookup can't find 'em... I did get a "host not found" when trying the "host" command, but when I do an nslookup and specify the name server to use to look it up, it does work for me... *shrug*

The results were the same as what I got at the SC site but what I posted was completely independent of SpamCop.

Nope... Didn't actually try to go there... until I saw your message. So I placed the IP address for the site in the hosts file for my pc here at work along with the site name and tried. Blank page. Guess it's gone. There's something answering there, but no web page. You've apparently not checked a Tracking URL in a while .. some terra-byte drives were installed a while back ... one of the options in your Tracking URL for insatnce is "View Entire Message" <g> Nope... Haven't tried in a long time...Probably at least a year or so.... maybe two years. Guess that info is out of date.

The results were the same as what I got at the SC site but what I posted was completely independent of SpamCop. Hmm... Interesting. I'm guessing it's because I used their nameserver to do the lookup directly that I was able to resolve it...
Wazoo Posted April 26, 2004 Posted April 26, 2004 I was able to resolve it semantics, definitions, techy stuff .... you looked up DNS and Domain registration data and received some info bits .... (though wondering if the "#53" signifies something??) The word "resolves" around here generally means something like - I plugged in the URL and a webpage showed up on screen ... meaning that the DNS lookup worked, HTTP did all of its handshaking, the web page code was rendered by your browser, and (usually) everybody's happy.

Hmm... dunno if I can insert a jpg here or not. I'm gonna try. It *does* show up if you use the entire URL. Just tried it. I *did* place the IP address in the hosts file, but it does resolve and it does show a web page. Take a look at this: Snapshot of url in question
Wazoo Posted April 27, 2004 Posted April 27, 2004 Not sure what to tell you ... it's dead from here ... so it may be a rotating DNS thing going on and my timing is way off, or you've got some stuff cached and it's pulling stuff from there ..??
