Hey guys, I see there is a lot of concern of revealing the set of Spam IP's and Ham IP's , where one could get to know either a customer - company relation (which may be private) and might generate suphosticated phishing attacks. We could solve this problem , If you could submit the set of IP's by anonymising the last octet of the IP addresses.
Also we could sign an NDA (if you are willing to provide the list) , so that I would not make the list of IP's public.
