I think this is a great idea. I am interested to see how some of the undeniable implementation issues will be resolved. In any case, the idea has my support.
Though it could be done with BGP similar to how the BGP RBL worked, I think it's a relatively bad idea. On the issue of spam, there are some sites that don't see a problem spamming, or that don't care enough about it to go to the trouble of securing their mail servers. These are the types of places that end up in the RBL. I'd like to believe there are relatively few places on the net that intend to be hacker havens. Are you going to start black holing all of UUNet's, PSI's, earthlink's dialup pool IP blocks? Most people don't want hackers in their systems. The proper way to deal with the issue is to inform the owners and keep your boxes secure. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jon Lewis *jlewis () lewis org*| I route System Administrator | therefore you are Atlantic Net | _________http://www.lewis.org/~jlewis/pgp for PGP public key__________
