Microsoft Ignores Europe….

Earlier this year I mentioned the Microsoft /MSN initiative to help ISPs track their users' spam. Since I last logged in they've added several new features including the possibility of adding your entire AS number. Excellent! No more worrying about network segments. I'd simply throw in any AS we manage and be covered! WRONG! MS, in their wisdom, haven't set up their system properly. Instead of running: whois ASxxxx -h whois.ripe.net - or whatever the windows equivalent is, they are querying ARIN so the only contact returned is abuse@ripe.net! Gah!
