There's recurring wisdom on other lists that people outside the Asia
Pacific region routinely block "all APNIC space" in order to reduce the
amount of spam they receive (the most recent example was on NANOG, when
someone inferred that APNIC address space was useless because it is so
regularly blocked).
I've run MTAs numbered within 202/8 and 203/8 before, and I've never
noticed a problem; if the practice of blocking all APNIC space was that
commonplace, I would have expected to have noticed. Maybe I was just
lucky, or maybe these block-happy ISPs don't include 202/8 and 203/8 in
"all APNIC space".
Anybody here noticed widespread blocking of any APNIC ranges by ISPs
elsewhere in the world?
Joe
