Clever Technologies - cartooney threats and removal demands (with apologies, blah-blah) against the SPEWS blocklist from their president, Chris Langsenkamp. No network that demands the access to others' mailservers will have the access to mine. clevertech.net, [65.116.210.0 - 65.116.210.255]: Access denied! === The Usenet post to NANAE by Chris Langsenkamp === Path: uni-berlin.de!fu-berlin.de!logbridge.uoregon.edu!newsfeed.stanford.edu!postnews1.google.com!not-for-mail From: gadget@ccrtc.com (Chris Langsenkamp) Newsgroups: news.admin.net-abuse.email Subject: SPEWS.ORG: Public Notice Date: 17 Jun 2002 11:26:12 -0700 Organization: http://groups.google.com/ Lines: 43 Message-ID: <6ecec120.0206171026.241ed9af@posting.google.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: 65.116.210.12 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-Trace: posting.google.com 1024338374 22347 127.0.0.1 (17 Jun 2002 18:26:14 GMT) X-Complaints-To: groups-abuse@google.com NNTP-Posting-Date: 17 Jun 2002 18:26:14 GMT Xref: uni-berlin.de news.admin.net-abuse.email:1720043 *** PUBLIC NOTICE *** It's been recently discovered that our IP range is on the SPEWS.ORG list of Spammers. We are not affiliated in any way with "Day Solutions", nor do we have any idea who or what that is. We acquired our Class C from Qwest in November 2001. Our net block is 65.116.210.0 - 255. You can check this with http://ws.arin.net/cgi-bin/whois.pl and type 65.116.210.* in the search box. We ARE a host of commercial websites, we DO have an acceptable use policy, we have NEVER permitted bulk mailing through our systems, we have ALWAYS maintained a lockdown AGAINST relaying, and we have E-Commerce clients who are FURIOUS that their customers can't receive email about their accounts and orders. SPEWS.ORG must clear our IP range out of their list immediately, and notify all clients who might have our network blocked based on inclusion of our IP address in their distributed lists. SPEWS.ORG must also provide us with current contact information to anyone who has received their distributed list containing this false information so that we may contact those recipients directly to assure the situation is fully resolved. Finally, SPEWS.ORG must make public notice on their website that their records have been updated properly to reflect the fact that Clever Technologies and our IP range was incorrectly published as being affiliated with Day Solutions, spammers, bulk mailers and the like. We have attempted to contact SPEWS.ORG in various ways with no success or response. Here, therefore, is public notice that SPEWS.ORG records are incorrect and out of date as of this writing, and have been so for an extended period of time. As such, SPEWS.ORG is making a false and baseless claim against our company, resulting in disruption of business and loss of revenue, among other tangible losses. We will pursue civil remedies if this matter is not addressed promptly. SPEWS.ORG has 72 hours from the posting of this message to comply or contact us. Chris Langsenkamp, President Clever Technologies, LLC Indianapolis, Indiana, USA (317) 487-5951
