Hi Suresh,

But in the meanwhile, a decade later, it does not longer exist.

At least, i can't reach that host, and i was unable to find working documentation on google of how about this project 
works, today.

In fact, the first link that google gave out, says that this project is dead at least 2 years ago.

http://www.dnsbl.com/2007/02/status-of-rblmapsvixcom-invalid-domain.html

I think that we all have a real opportunity here for make something that can be useful to all.

And, we are not talk of spam here, but, to mitigate time, money and patience consuming DDoS attacks, which often are 
easier to mitigate only at the Source and at the Destination, while at Destinatation, sink is the only viable solution 
that is out there today. 

regards,
