I've been getting flamed by several of you off-list for picking on a "big
carrier."
As result, I decided to pass this one on to the list.

Yeah, this "network architect" responded to a post of mine on NANOG that
using TAP to send pages was just dumb when I could simply email my pager
"directly". Uh... Yeah, that will get my page about "the internet" being
down right out to my pager right quick.
Of course I didn't see his response for a few weeks, as it fell into my
spam folder. Wonder why?

Bellsouth: Please patch your spam hole. We all know they'll be using
that one now.
BTW: Any reason why you have SMTP service on a nameserver available from
the global internet
Money that tight that you can't have dedicated boxes to do DNS and DNS
only?
(On the phone to brokers voicemail: "Bellsouth: SELL IT! SELL IT! SELL
IT!")
