blacklists are fundamentally wrong. They break end to end connectivity of the net and nab a fair number of innocent users (i.e. telecommuters, small-scale mail systems etc.) in addition to catching the occasional spammer.-----Original Message----- From: Joe Matuscak [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, December 10, 2002 12:10 PMHeh. Repeat after me: "Please GTA, give us more DNSBL lists in the email proxy!!" Im using the cn-kr list, and if I could, Id use the one for Brazil too.There's a link on http://www.blackholes.us to the page http://spfilter.openrbl.org, which appears to be for an Open Source app that will pull and consolidate zones from multiple RBLs. If you've got a junk PC sitting around, maybe this would be a good use for it. If you receive large volumes of email, it may also speed up your mail processing, since the RBLs are downloaded and served locally.
I advocate instead a movement towards sender pays e-mail. In other words, and e-mail originator would be required to burn CPU cycles in a proof of work puzzle or actual cash attached to the mail message. On receipt of said payment, the originator would be white listed so they wouldn't have to provide postage for future communications.
one such implementation is underway with the camram project. If you'd like to help put a serious dent in Spam without putting a serious dent in your computing budget, let me know.
