-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hey folks, I was having a thought about phone numbers in spam messages, and the old brain pinged an idea at me. I'd really appreciate any feedback!
It occurred to me that I get a fair amount of spam which includes phone/fax numbers. It also occurred to me that given a string like "Number:+447031916662" (from real spam), then we could strip out the phone number and do a lookup thus: mail# host 447031916662.evilnumbers 447031916662.evilnumbers has address 127.0.0.2 (real dns lookup to a specially created "evilnumbers" zone) And hey presto, it would work just like a URIBL would. I'm no perl hacker, so what are the odds the current URIDNSBL code could be re-used to perform this? Would any of the SURBL guys be interested in hosting the back-end if it's worth doing? Comments welcomed. Thanks for your time!
