(I just posted a couple "rules" to the FC mailing list about them.
A spam was relayed through them to the list followed by two shills
who copied the entire message and complained at the bottom "pro
forma." This is not the first time this has happened.)
<self-defensively>
Homelinux.org is owned by dyndns.org, and the company gives out domain
names like timesucker.homelinux.org to anyone who applies. In other
words, dyndns.org is in business to provide dsl and cable subscribers
with routable domains that are automagically updated on the rare
occasions when the cable/dsl companies renumber their IP subnets.
Each domain under homelinux.org is a separate individual/company/whatever,
so please keep that in mind when deciding on the reputation of
"homelinux.org": you might as well ask the reputation of "com" or "net".

interest in the firm.)
I use dyndns, privately, myself. (I do not publish and use that address
publicly.) I've not seen problems with spoo.dyndns.net or any of the
others. But I have seen more than one with homelinux.org. Maybe they
do not have that one under control yet.
