While not quite a match, this does confirm CyberPromo's involvement. Based on the user
name of the billing/adminstrative contact, I don't think they are concerned about flames.
Just wanted to confirm this one:
>whois mnkmniforu.com
No match for "MNKMNIFORU.COM".
So, let's see who owns the address:
>whois 203.8.28.0
Asia Pacific Network Information Center (APNIC2) APNIC-CIDR-BLK
202.0.0.0 - 203.255.255.0
Challenge Bank Ltd (NETBLK-CHALLENGENET-AU) CHALLENGENET-AU
203.8.24.0 - 203.8.31.0
The Australian Internet Registry Pty Ltd (NETBLK-AUSTRALIA) AUSTRALIA-CIDR-BLK
203.0.0.0 - 203.63.255.0
To single out one record, look it up with "!xxx", where xxx is the
handle, shown in parenthesis following the name, which comes first.
Man, that's a full Class A worth of addresses and then some. That's pretty serious. This
is more important for educational purposes than anything else. It also helps show the lack
of credibility spammers have.
A traceroute does place this in Australia, but it will not resolve past the NAP:
Network Access Point. The address could be down, or the service provider could be
down as well.
Now, let's look into the deliberate false headers including in the spam to try and distract
the spam fighters:
