------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2005-01-25 22:31 ------- Perhaps Daniel can clarify what he was suggesting. What you suggest of creating a name-based BL of spam domain name servers sounds interesting, but SURBLs are not really designed to do that. Perhaps someone else could put something together. We'd certainly share our data with anyone who wanted to do that. One of the difficulties would be keeping spam domains refreshed as to which nameservers they were using, etc. As you note the name server IPs move around pretty often, but do the name servers names for a given domain changed much? Throwaway domains also would tend to make the task more difficult. Since many spammers treat many domains as disposable, that somewhat complicates the task of trying to keep track of which ones were actively used in order to know which ones to track the name servers of. Researching spammer name servers is a topic unto itself. Spamhaus has folks doing it, as do probably others. SURBL doesn't. I guess we find the first-order task of listing domains that appear in spam URIs to be something we're better suited to do. To me those are somewhat more transparent and easier to track than name servers, though others are surely looking into them. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.
