Since my weblog software is custom, I've just got those few who have made the effort to target me specifically. That boils down to what looks like 3-4 entities and about 20 domains. I just started compiling it today, though. There are probably more buried in the logs that haven't been spammed at me recently. > Also have you tried Jay Allen's MT-Blacklist/Comment Spam > list: > > http://www.jayallen.org/comment_spam/ > > It would be interesting to look at your data to see if there's > much overlap with our existing lists. In the case of Jay's data, > there's nearly none. I've looked at it before. It's oriented around MT, and since my weblog software is a custom thing, I can't use it directly. The actual database of domains looks like something easy to import into rbldnsd, though, and the updates could probably be automated via the RSS feed. No overlap with my current (very small) blacklist. IMO, for the purpose of an SURBL, spam is spam is spam. I don't see a need for a separate list so much as for SOME list; the SURBL technology is the right technical fit for the problem, since there's no point in everyone madly maintaining their own local blacklists... the rest is just the details. -- Matthew Hunter ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Public Key: http://matthew.infodancer.org/public_key.txt Homepage: http://matthew.infodancer.org/index.jsp Politics: http://www.triggerfinger.org/weblog/index.jsp
