Comment on TAM Clntfile.exe errors by Michael J. Youndt

I am an IT consultant and have a client that I have helped upgrade servers and PCs over the years. I have no direct familiarity with WinTAM but ever since an upgrade to Win 2008 server I am getting lots of these errors that cause loss of network connectivity. Very aggrivating and I am getting a lot of resistance from AppSystems finding a solution. I have spent days worth of time (not charging) my client to eliminate network issues, which AppSystems wants to blame. I have run out of ideas and at a complete loss where to go from here. I just happened to find this blog post and could really, really use some help from anywhere.

Comment on Why SORBS sucks. by Trog

I really wish someone could explain to be how a “service” like SORBS is considered legitimate. It was a knee-jerk reaction to the escalating spam problem and rather than do something intelligent, orgs flocked to outfits like SORBS because their over-worked, undertrained IT staff took the “I don’t have time to actually fix the problem” approach to spam. I can’t wish enough horrible things to happen to this blight of a “service”

They’re even blocking Gmail.

“550 550 5.2.1 Mailbox unavailable. Your IP address 74.125.82.52 is blacklisted using SORBS-ALL. Details: Currently Sending Spam See:http://www.sorbs.net/lookup.shtml?74.125.82.52. (state 17).”

Wow. Real reliable outfit there.

For me blogging has gotten me business all over the world. Most recently a month long branding project in Tanzania. It is a great way to build your expert profile, and build confidence. I also get publicity and interviews. If you’re a business person and you’re not considering blogging for business, them I suggest you put it on your radar. It works for me.

Sounds like they were being DDoS’d today – sucks to be them.

how ironic – the SORBS registration email went straight to my GMail spam folder.

Thanks for the comment Chuck. I do disagree with the attempt to create a revenue stream by charging for de-listing, but I also find UCE-Protect Level 1 BL to be useful. Those who run DNSBLs do need some method of financially supporting their efforts without extorting those who get listed – legitimately or otherwise. I have not dealt with UCE-Protect for a listed IP, but I have dealt with their backscatter.org list. It was our fault though, because we were sending out NDRs likely crazy, but getting de-listed was no picnic.
