Then again, DALnet and OPN have both previously >ALine'd btinternet rather than tidying the abuse up properly... In DALnet's case, they were being abused by a large number of btinternet.com hosts and getting no response from abuse@. If an ISP is unwilling to do anything about its users not playing nicely with other systems, it seems pretty reasonable to stop them from being able to do any damage. Mind you, I've also seen cert at cam.ac.uk refuse to take any action against a compromised machine that was being used to attack DALnet. Maybe security people just don't understand IRC? -- Matthew Garrett | mjg59-uk.comp.os.linux@srcf.ucam.org
