I have a very large list of spammers' domains and netblocks as well as pro-spam ISPs (like Broadwing). Just yesterday I was working on a script to recombine multiple files into a full access list so I could move the RELAY, OK, SPAMFRIEND, and my 553 Spammer's stick it lines into seperate files. That would let me make the list of domains/netblocks portable to other machines. If you'd like to have a copy of my list when I'm through, let me know.
BTW, I strongly recommend you thoroughly read, re-read, and re-read again *any* domains lists you get from other sources before going live with them. I incorporated the monkey's list last Spring and have had nothing but problems with it since. First off I had to remove dozens of .edu and .gov listings that I'm adamant against blocking. If they're open relays, let the open relay DNSBLs deal with it. If they actually spam (and you're not an alum and never applied there) then try to correct their ways first. IMHO. Then I had to go through and remove dozens of companies that I simply won't list because of the user backlash. These companies have spammed at some point and time apparently: amazon.com, sourceforge.net, microsoft.com, godaddy.com, schwab.com, apple.com, auctionwatch.com, bestbuy.com, blockbuster.com, bluesquirrel.com, britannica.com, budweiser.com, chrysler.com, datek.com, dataviz.com, dotster.com, ea.com, eudora.com, eff.org, gateway.com, etc... Do you see a pattern here of domains that you wouldn't block? The point is that you need to thoroughly review the list before you incorporate it. The monkey's listing policy must allow for listing just about anyone that sends him mail. Whatever we got from the list has far been surpassed by the trouble it's caused. If you were to use my list I'd strongly recommend you review it too to make sure I didn't list something you wouldn't. HTH Justin On Thu, 9 Jan 2003, Andrew M.
