Hello
I worked in TTD and leave only two weeks ago, so i know the
matter. Adenet and Futurnet have been informed during *months* (specially
adenet company) that they are been used as relays for mail spamming.
Unfortunately, there is no Aceptable use policy in the National
Company, Telefonica, so you can inform users and companies conected, but
you can't force them to change thier configuration or their software.
More about this; even when the main provider, ibernet.es/ttd.net
is informing customers (mainly companys and ISPs) there is nobody
dedicated to spammimg issues, and the mail arriving to the usual abuse,
hostmaster, etc is redirected to the end-complany.
TTD is the biggest provider for Internet connectivity in Spain
today. The academic network is another realm, of course. Pedrol and
dionisio are out of the day to day operations; there are not valid
operational contacts. You should contact hostmaster@localhost or
hostmaster@localhost but as I said before, spam fighting is nobody's
work. They will do their best (as i did, until recently) but ibernet
hostmaster cannot force companies to change their sendmail configuration,
not can go and change it for himself.
