All the Perl that's Practical to Extract and Report

When you want to ban, do it right

I am quite annoyed with one of the servers in the irc.perl.org network. It has banned the gateway I am using :-/

[09:30] 	*	Looking up irc.perl.org
[09:30] 	*	Connecting to g.irc.perl.org (89.16.161.112) port 6667...
[09:30] 	*	Connected. Now logging in...
[09:30] 	*	*** Looking up your hostname...
[09:30] 	*	*** Checking Ident
[09:30] 	*	*** Found your hostname
[09:30] 	*	*** No Ident response
[09:30] 	*	*** Banned Listed in cbl.abuseat.org.  See cbl.abuseat.org/lookup.cgi?ip=212.97.200.24 (2007/8/6 08.01)
[09:30] 	*	Closing Link: gw.telia.dk (Banned)
[09:30] 	*	Disconnected (Remote host closed socket).
[09:30] 		Cycling to next server in Magnet...
[09:30] 	*	Disconnected ().


If you go and inquire with CBL, I used to get the information that the IP had been banned, but had been removed.

Now I am getting:

IP Address 212.97.200.24 was not found in the CBL.

The server 62.121.16.101, however does allow the connect so I guess I have to find out who runs: 89.16.161.112 and tell them to update their list.

*sigh*

Apparently the IP resolves to some hosting company, so I this leads to nothing.

*SIGH*

If anybody know who I need to mail, please let me know. Luckily one of the other server are allowing connections.

BTW if anybody knows how I can add an IRC server to the network, please let me know. I do not know how updated the oper list is.

I CAN be reached via IRC.

Actually this problem is nothing, it just annoys me... and I am a bit morning grumpy... and I need a hug

Just a little investigation...

$ host 89.16.161.112 112.161.16.89.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer cou.ch.

And a simple whois on cou.ch will show you:

$ whois cou.ch
Domain name: cou.ch
Holder of domain name: Sergeant Peter P J L Systems Ltd

And the "I am feeling lucky" google for that name leads to: http://search.cpan.org/user/sargie/ which has contact details.

All in a days work! ;)

I will contact him.

I guess I owe you a beer (more) or is it you who own me a beer less?

Too bad I do not have a beerDB available
