RBLs and local IP addresses

RBLs and local IP addresses

Postby ColinABQ » Sat Nov 03, 2007 1:54 pm

The suggestion is to prevent AMS from sending RBL requests for IP addresses in the reserved local ranges: 192.168.x.x, 10.x.x.x, 172.cannot.remember.this.range. My local (LAN-only) DNS server logs show that AMS does appear to send such RBL requests under some conditions, for the local client system's LAN IP.

Now, I realize that this may be partly/mostly/entirely my fault. I recently changed the static IP address of my own workstation, and forgot to adjust any exemptions I had set up for the old address. I'm sure that I can "fix" it. But it seems to me that this should never be allowed anyway, just on general principles. (Please protect us from ourselves, so to speak.)

Thanks
Colin

Thanks for the suggestion. You are probably correct that such LAN IPs should always be ignored. I have made a note of the suggestion and passed this along to the rest of the team.
