Personally inviting someone to your party? Surely the analogy to linode is something like an apartment building owner. You wouldn't ban your established friend just because you keep having problems with nearby tenants.
Oh man I think around 2 years ago there was a 3x spike in Europe outbound spam and the fraud team had to disable like 200k+ tenants from some shady cloud VPS. We didn’t have a long term plan for the abuse back then besides playing whack-a-mole, and if we have one now, I haven’t heard of it.
Dumb question, but wtf is the solution even? I’m confused about what you expect us to do. I haven’t thought about the problem much so I might be missing some obvious Pareto improvement.
You didn’t make any mistakes encoding, I just screwed up my decoding, it happens :D
Thanks for clarifying, ok, hmm… that seems hard to do if you can check the IP block by using a subnet mask but the specific IP isn’t resolved until later in mailflow. It might not actually work like that in… ProtocolFilterHub? I always get this mixed up, wait… I think this might be something that we are already working on. And have been working on for a while, wow. Looks hairy. It’s stuck since the guy working on it transferred to another team, and no one picked it up, but some PM noticed before I did and put it up for vote in semester planning. Always creepy to see engineers get referred to as “resources”.
