Hello Until today, i thought mail is for everyone. But today a customer of the ISP i work complained about not being able to send email to one of his co-workers, because his IP Address is in Romania. So here I am, testing: -------- CUT HERE --------- [tbb@Hydra tbb]$ telnet 195.41.47.12 25 Trying 195.41.47.12... Connected to 195.41.47.12. Escape character is '^]'. 220 watt.pil.dk ESMTP Postfix helo pil.dk 250 watt.pil.dk mail from: tbb@ines.ro 250 Ok rcpt to: nanna@baconcph.com 554 Service unavailable; Client host [80.86.96.6] blocked using ro.countries.nerd.dk; Your IP is in ro, rejected based on geographical location Connection closed by foreign host. -------- END HERE ---------- Now... I think this is stupid. Anyone has same opinion? OR all romanians should be banned from using a computer? Should I complain to RIPE-NCC? Can they help? (Afterall, they delegated the 195.41.47 block) Should I ask permision from RIPE-NCC to register my IP space in a different country? -- Tiberiu Ungureanu Network Engineer iNES Group SRL - Internet Dept.
