We have an little issue where a person that keeps on mailing crap to people in our organization. It could be an ex employee, not sure yet.


All the mails originate from 197.76.*.* range

MTN network I think?

Anyway, if we really want to track said person down I suppose we need to open up a case at SAPS and then go and ask for logs from ISP correct?

If its a abuse case I would say mail MTN:

inetnum: 197.76.128.0 - 197.76.255.255
netname: MTNSA-197-76-128-0-17
descr: Mobile Broadband Internet Pretoria
country: ZA
admin-c: MBIP-AFRINIC
tech-c: MBIP-AFRINIC
status: ASSIGNED PA
remarks: report abuse to [email protected]
mnt-by: MTNBUSINESS-MNT
source: AFRINIC # Filtered
parent: 197.64.0.0 - 197.79.255.255

They will need the mail header to track down the culprit (date and time which user had this IP, as it seems to be part of their 3G allocated range). Spam is a prosecutable offense in SA, but MTN will probably require a subpoena from the SAPS before they do anything.
