Yes, to a certain degree it will overlap with CBL (one of the lists aggregated into XBL). XBL's description says it detects open relays and open proxies. My thinking is to try to detect the zombies that are closed except to their master (or those renting capacity from the controller). Most of them will eventually end up on RBLs once they start sending spam, but why wait until then if they propagate the infection first? _______________________________________________ NOTE: If there is a disclaimer or other legal boilerplate in the above message, it is NULL AND VOID.
