[anti-abuse-wg] AS41609, AS203974, and Alexandru ("Andrei") Stanciu / Suceava, Romania

Ronald,

As usual your research is impressive and your body of work thorough.

I do not have any information about Alexandru ("Andrei") Stanciu of
Suceava, Romania, but;

For this WG, I would like to point out (and underline) an extracted
section of your nanog post.

"means that although they can -route- that space, they can't get the
authority to control the reverse DNS for this block delegated to them.
In order to do that, they'd have to get permission to do reverse DNS for
the block FROM THE REAL AND LEGITIMATE BLOCK OWNER"

For Abuse purposes... Email Administrators should as a rule not
relay/accept emails from IP numbers with no reverse...

Currently a large percentage of email servers still relay emails when
there is no reverse zone
