Re: att.net and bellsouth.net problem

Many domains are being "Private" registered. The term varies by
registrar but it all results in false contact information in the domain
registry to protect from all the cons that are harvesting that
information. It also means that ATT can't use it to segregate email from
administrators.

Take a look at sitefindservice.net. Tell me how to contact the real
owners of the domain? BTW this is the domain a local ISP uses for
NXDOMAIN hijacking in violation of RFC standards and causing lots of
non-http problems.

Look at your domain registry. You put your domain administrators email address their. That is public information. Perhaps they are looking at that? Just an educated guess, maybe a little wild too. ;-))

Spit. Spit. Spit.

ATT puts a very bad taste in my mouth. I have a couple of customers that
send emails to Mediacom addresses. Some are employees sending to their
home addresses, some are going to director's personal addresses. The
customers were getting rejection bounces mentioning RBL but like you
were weren't on any of the well known. Mediacom's tech wouldn't talk to
us as we weren't their customer. We even tried getting lawyers involved
and the most we could get out of them was that they were using a service
from ATT but no names, no phone numbers, no email addresses, no way to
protest/clear the RBL entry like the reputable ones provide. Just "not
our problem."

One employee/mchsi.com user finally took the time to fight as a Mediacom
customer and eventually got a response that:

The administrator of the blocked site would have to contact
rbl@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the server's IP and domain to request removal.
Only the administrator can email the address and all user's emails will
be automatically discarded.

So far I haven't been able to get any response from the address. BTW how
the h*** can they identify the administrator's email address for every
domain with the increasing popularity of "private" domain registrations?
