ka112 Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 I see that often in the "Administrator of network hosting website referenced in spam"-field that weekend[at]bbn.cn is surgested. I get the feeling that that adress is associated with the bad guys just like sertain earlier adresses. Can a "Administrator of network hosting website referenced in spam" be it's own ISP and is my suspisions correct? /Anders
Miss Betsy Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 Yes, it could be. Someone may investigate further and confirm it. You can always uncheck any box and not send a report if you are suspicious. Miss Betsy
rconner Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 I see that often in the "Administrator of network hosting website referenced in spam"-field that weekend[at]bbn.cn is surgested. I get the feeling that that adress is associated with the bad guys just like sertain earlier adresses.The e-mail address you cite is currently used as an abuse contact for a Chinese provider (ZBYD) well known for a long history of unapologetic spam support. Here's a report from Spamhaus (external link) on an address in this block. Earlier, this outfit used different abuse contact addresses but they were invariably listed as "bounces" by SpamCop. The new address does not bounce, which might be good news for us if this address is being serviced; or, it might as you suggest be a contact for the spammer himself. Whatever the case, I certainly would not trust anything that ZBYD had to say at this point. -- rick
btech Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 It's more effective to use the Complainterator tool on the back end to report the name servers, than it is to send to these black-hole email addresses/hosts.

I would give it a try, but can't run it at all. -- rick
Farelf Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 ... does anyone know of any prospects at all for porting Complainterator to MacOS? ...Haven't heard of such, I guess ask info[at]complainterator.com or look in http://www.castlecops.com/f287-Complainterator.html (I couldn't find anything on a quick search)
btech Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 I wasn't aware that it was OS specific. I know it requires FF (or a tabbed browser) and a mailer like Thunderbird... but I have a PC. *shrug*
qjvgpuryy Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 Yes, it could be. Someone may investigate further and confirm it. Miss Betsy I think they did - reports to weekend[at]bbn.cn went to dev/null today.
