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!

C.
