Hi all,
I realized this morning that could not send or receive email to/from aol
customers. I also found that I wasn't able to go to lancasteronline.com
either. I thought that it was a name resolution problem, but I couldn't
connect with the IP either. Then I ran a traceroute and found something
interesting:
catie:~# traceroute 64.12.51.132
traceroute to 64.12.51.132 (64.12.51.132), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets

7 12.126.174.121 (12.126.174.121) 42.875 ms !A * 29.148 ms !A
This also occurred with the IP from lancasteronline.com. Both traces
die at 12.126.174.121. The interesting part is the "!A". From the man
page:
Other possible annotations after the time are !H, !N, or !P
(host, network or protocol unreachable), !A, !C (access to the
network or host, respectively, is prohibited), !S (source route
failed), !F-<pmtu> (fragmentation needed - the RFC1191 Path MTU
Discovery value is displayed), !X (communication administra-
tively prohibited), !V (host precedence violation), !C (prece-
dence cutoff in effect), or !<num> (ICMP unreachable code
<num>). These are defined by RFC1812 (which supersedes
RFC1716). If almost all the probes result in some kind of
unreachable, traceroute will give up and exit.
What does that mean? Did I get blacklisted somehow?
TIA,
Jon
