Actually, you can not rely on the ripedb to give you the right ISP for an ip-address. The only correct way to get the right ISP is to look in the bgp-table, which origin-AS the ip-adress has, and then do a lookup on that AS-number to get the correct recipients of the spam-report. > > Thanks for your advise. > > Regards. > > > -- Mvh Fredrik Widell Resilans AB http://www.resilans.se/ mail: info at resilans.se , fredrik at resilans.se phone: +46 8 688 11 82
