FAA open relay

2001-11-07 16:01:32+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Justin reported an open FAA relay. I verified that it was open yesterday and fired off mail to the FAA postmaster (hopefully not opening myself up to legal responsibility under some new "anti-terrorist" draconian rules). While anyone used to reading headers is used to going down a few "Received" lines, as Justin points out: Having genuine reverse-resolvable FAA[Wiki] IP addresses in headers is bad[Wiki].

Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
