What is nifty.com? Is it legitimate? The web page is in Chinese.
I noticed they were trying to do a lot of connects to our mail servers
but were in the block list and seem to have been for years.
So I opened it up because fool that I am I like to believe people mend
their ways.
It instantly began flooding us with spam, lottery-office@whatever,
dictionary attacks, that kind of thing.
So I blocked them again. I've never had a customer complaint about
this block.
It's making me lose faith in humanity, a little.
Totally gratuitous internet governance snark:
And they're meeting in Dubai because some countries believe they can
be the new sheriff in town? HAH! We've got a hundred million
teenagers with whiskey and loaded shotguns roaming the landscape and
they think it's just a matter of showing a little authority from
people with snappy new uniforms...good luck with that buckaroos!
