Gavin,
This looks like a neat project and it is great that you've open sourced it.
I can see how it would be useful for folks that want an open source
solution to deploy their own honeypots and feed that back into private
blocklists.
On a wider, shared blocklist level, this seems like a relatively simple
problem to solve, but the parallels with email spam are hard to avoid.
There have been a few similar blocklists including the ITSPA/Comms Council
Cargill & Cox DNS based project whose name temporarily escapes my
braincells, and the apiban project (Fred Posner - Kamailio, LOD) which
seems to be gaining some traction.
I guess the feature of your project is the open federation protocol, but I
think there are reasons that most approaches to this kind of filtering are
behind a curtain controlled by gatekeeper and Matthew covered most of them.
There is a very high trust bar for most providers to import filtering
decisions into their network, and I can't think of any non-curated
approach that has ever flown.
It will be interesting to see how this pans out though, certainly looks
like a great learning and data collection project.
