Ok, how did you get this info? I'm half afraid that some poor SoB in
San
Ramon, who knows nothing of what's happening here, will get harassed
because
of this.

OTOH, if this is legit... very useful...

The original ip address of the Psalm 110 spammer
was taken from its NNTP-Posting-Host: 67.119.178.120 header.

Addresses used in America are assigned by ARIN (American Registry for

Using ARIN's WHOIS facility shows the address was assigned to

Pac Bell Internet Services PBI-NET-10 (NET-67-112-0-0-1)
67.112.0.0 - 67.127.255.255

Which further assigned a smaller portion of NET-67-112-0-0-1 to"

nas12.pltn13 SBC067119178000020621 (NET-67-119-178-0-1)
67.119.178.0 - 67.119.179.255

Right. This is the actual address space, which had to be justified by
demonstrating actual use of at least 254 host computers. A bit much for
an individual, although it could be a small enterprise.



A lookup on NET-67-119-178-0-1 gives the following information, which
constitutes the entity which facilitated internet access to the
67.119.178.120 spammer:

It might or might not be the actual spammer, or, more likely, an unknown
dupe of the spammer. It is entirely possible that a spammer hacked a
machine in this address space and is using it unlawfully. We simply
don't have enough data to tell.

Just for the record, I've been a voting member of ARIN for a number of
years, have given tutorials at their national meeting, published
Internet Engineering Task Force documents of addressing, and am the

(Macmillan)_ and _Building Service Provider Networks_ (Wiley).
