Understood, I only gave the rm02.net examples because of talk, on the Uribl-discuss list, of listing particular hosts and adding options to SA to allow such hostnames to be looked up. > If subdomain.domain.com is appearing in spams and domain.com > is legitimate than they should fix the problems with their > abusive users. Also understood and agreed. I'm not suggesting that you list subdomain.domain.com, just that you list both domain.com and *.domain.com. Doing so would totally eliminate the need for any determination of registrar boundaries in SA or other applications, while being fully backwards compatible with applications which choose to determine registrar boundaries. Therefore the handling of private registries, new(ly added) two-level or three-level registries, or even the rm02.net situation discussed on the Uribl-discuss list, could be handled by the particular URI blacklist providers/maintainers without the need for co-ordination between the affected list, SA and other applications. Admittedly there is a downside though, DNS caching becomes less effective. This might turn out to be worse than any benefits mentioned above. Anyway, just a thought on one way to deal with the minor registrar boundary issues. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.
