They are validating addresses using incomplete SMTP dialogs. Either nullroute or block at the MAIL FROM stage, so they don't even get to check whether RCPT TO would be accepted.

Can anyone give insight into this company?

They have an IMMENSE amount of IP space from PSI/Cogent..

(Someone might like to look into this from Cogent's end)

Their website (https://www.code200.global/contact) has no real company
information, and Google shows a Lithunian company by that name with 17
employees.  But almost all of that IP space is active, with either PTR
naming conventions of code200.global ..

Oct 30 09:02:51 be msd[3651510]: CONN: 38.79.219.120 -> 25 GeoIP = [US]
PTR = code200.global OS = Linux 2.2.x-3.x
Oct 30 09:02:51 be msd[3651510]: HELO command received, args: code200.global
Oct 30 09:02:52 be msd[3651510]: MAIL command received, args:
FROM:<A2I174@code200.global>

Doing list washing..

... or..

38.128.158.229    x1    prd-ol-25ad6o.sourcexnet.com
38.128.158.231    x1    prd-ol-6n0jkp.unsignedstatic.com
38.128.158.233    x1    prd-ol-hf8c87.spaceisstupid.com
38.128.158.235    x1    prd-ol-fc0xdw.marketdatax.com

They advertise that they are selling internet connections for $19.95 and
hosting, but this doesn't appear to be the case..

Oct 30 11:46:08 be msd[4182031]: CONN: 149.100.189.246 -> 25 GeoIP =
[IT] PTR = prd-ol-5sp9th.froyogogo.com OS = Linux 2.2.x-3.x
Oct 30 11:46:09 be msd[4182031]: HELO command received, args:
prd-ol-5SP9TH.froyogogo.com
Oct 30 11:46:09 be msd[4182031]: MAIL command received, args:
FROM:<gd6...@prd-ol-5sp9th.froyogogo.com>

You will recall that name from a while back in out reports..

This seems to be someone trying to prove they have justification for IP
space, but this is simply huge swaths of IP space used to slow roll list
washing it appears..

Any one else have comments on them?
