Hi Vinny!
As i am thinking about this, i came to the idea that mostly uu.net applies filters
to their downstreams
e.g. there are not filtering by as - they filter by access-list
what i presume is that they use a
access-list xyz permit 151.189.0.0 255.255.255.0
instead of (the correct one):
access-list xyz permit 151.189.0.0 255.255.0.0
note the difference ?
It's probably time for them to call the uunet support to fix this.
