Subject: Request to Reinstate Feeless BGP Sessions with Enhanced 
Security Measures

Dear Mr. Leber, and interested NANOG members;

I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to respectfully request 
the reinstatement of feeless BGP sessions by Hurricane Electric, 
considering the latest advancements in routing security and spam prevention.

Recent developments in Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) 
validation have significantly enhanced the security of internet routing, 
effectively mitigating the risk of man-in-the-middle attacks. RPKI 
ensures that only legitimate Autonomous Systems (AS) can announce 
specific IP prefixes, thereby increasing trust and reliability in BGP 
sessions.

Additionally, to address concerns related to email abuse, it is now 
feasible to implement filtering on mail server ports (such as 25, 465, 
and 587) for feeless BGP sessions. By applying such restrictions, 
potential spam-related issues can be proactively managed while 
maintaining the accessibility and robustness of the service.

The restoration of feeless BGP sessions, with these enhanced security 
measures in place, would provide substantial benefits to the global 
internet community by fostering network expansion, enhancing resilience, 
and ensuring a more secure routing environment.

I sincerely appreciate the invaluable services that Hurricane Electric 
provides and trust that you will consider this request in light of the 
latest security improvements. Thank you for your time and attention to 
this matter. I look forward to your response.

*Best regards,*
