ARTICLES RELATED TO DNSBL | | | |  DNSBL: Encyclopedia II - DNSBL - DNSBL OperationTo operate a DNSBL requires three things: a domain to host it under, a nameserver for that domain, and a list of addresses to publish.
It is possible to serve a DNSBL using BIND, the popular DNS software. However, BIND is inefficient for zones containing large numbers of addresses, particularly DNSBLs which list entire Classless Inter-Domain Routing netblocks.

| | | | DNSBL: Encyclopedia II - Spam Prevention Early Warning System - Criticism of SPEWS No one knows how many service providers use the SPEWS list to reject mail. The number is enough, though, to make people who are listed as spammers, neighbours of spammers, or service providers of spammers quite upset.
Spam Prevention Early Warning System - Contacting SPEWS.

Vixie, an influential Internet programmer and administrator, encouraged the authors of sendmail and other mail software to implement RBL clients. These allowed the mail software to query the RBL and reject mail from listed sites. However, the purpose of the RBL was not simply to block spam—it was to educate Internet service providers and other Internet sites about spam and related problems, such as open ...
