Hello adslers

I have noticed in the last few weeks that at least once a week, i pick up an abuse listed ip address. Something i have no control of. Telkom change my ip once a day - why the F$%^ they dont do that at 3am when i am sleeping instead of 1pm when i am doing something on the net - anyway. Obviously there are a number of ip addresses listed on abuse sites, when i receive one of these in telkom ip change, i am directly effected by it. I get mail messages non delivered (due to ip listed on abuse servers), even some sites i connect to says host ip not allowed....

WHY THE F%^& TELKOM!!!!

this is rather unfortunate, now the stupid bastards dont want to give you a static ip, but you get the crap for someone else doing something on a different ip.

You will have to take that up with your ISP. In the case of telkom you use smtp.dsl.telkomsa.net.

I got a faulty IP 2 days in a row, basically banned on most sites etc, was fricking useless. Last night I phoned 0800375375 (line problems) and asked about the banned/blocked IP's and was told "Umm, yes sir we are getting a lot of these lately..." to which me answer was, "Gee, doesn't static IP sound like a better idea? Or are you scared of losing all your Diginet customers to ADSL..." and then there was silenece...
