We considered something like this for SURBL, but decided it doesn't make much sense to set up the infrastructure or use the DNS queries and traffic repeatedly serving up essentially invariant information such as reserved SLDs. Hard coding it into programs may be somewhat inelegant, but is perhaps more appropriate to the task, and it can still be updated through patches. Also spammer abuse of these domains is much less than .com, .net, .info, SLD.cn, etc. In a nutshell, highly static, relatively infrequently used information such as this arguably does not lend itself well to a DNS list. YMMV. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.
