--- Begin Message --- Just recently came across another blocking of 210.0.0.0/8 with chat servers.

While probably not considered by many to be a productive service :-) it does still show attitudes that say "APNIC ? forget it" and this attitude appears to be markedly prevalent amongst US based admins and now appears to be expanding to cover services other than e-mail.

Yes - we have seen this quite reguarly.  Specifically, the
210/8 network seems particuarly disliked.

pbi.net used to block connections from 210/8 but not from
202/7 for a good part of 2002.


We have customers complain about it every so often, but I forget
what the most recent case was - some little ISP in TX,  IIRC.

Never attempt with words what can be achieved with a flame thrower.
