Hi all,
I've got the following email from Matthew, a support employee of the
http:BL project.

Thomas:
For a number of reasons, including not wanting to be exposed to the legal
liability of running an email filtering RBL, we explicitly forbid the use
of http:BL in our terms. If your use becomes a problem, the system will
shut it down. However, it is definitely not something we encourage and ask
that you not encourage it either.
Matthew.

Here is the relevant text part from the 'terms of service use' page of the
'Project Honey Pot' (
http://www.projecthoneypot.org/terms_of_service_use.php )
------------
You agree that the HTTP:BL service is exclusively designed to provide
information on web traffic. It is a violation of this agreement to use the
HTTP:BL service to receive information in order to block email traffic.
You acknowledge that using this service to block email traffic may result
in a large number of false positives and legitimate email senders being
blocked. You agree that it is a violation of this Agreement to use
information provided by the HTTP:BL service to block email. Use of HTTP:BL
to block email subjects you to the immediate revocation of your Access Key
and potential additional sanctions.
------------
We have to accept these terms, and for this reason, the usage of
'dnsbl.httpbl.org' as RBL-Service-Provider will be no longer supported by
ASSP starting with version 2.0.2_1.1.25 !
ASSP 2.0.2_1.1.24, which is the only version that supports the usage of
'dnsbl.httpbl.org' as RBL-Service-Provider, is decleared as "not legal".
If you currently use this version of ASSP and you use 'dnsbl.httpbl.org'
as RBL-ServiceProvider, you are encouraged to remove 'dnsbl.httpbl.org'
from the list of the used RBL-ServiceProviders . To do this, change the
configuration value of 'RBLServiceProvider' or the file, if the 'file:'
option is configured!
I'm sorry
Thomas
