Emails have gone to each of the mirror operators we have on record. This
is just a public notice for any that we may miss, but also to serve as a
warning that if you have hardcoded an IP to use your favorite mirror
that will stop working.
During a recent program and service level review, deficiencies were
noted in the operations of the SpamCop Blocking List. As a result, the
Talos Team has determined we should move away from the current model of
using third party volunteer block list mirrors in favor of a fully
managed in-house solution.
This means that all third-party volunteer SpamCop block list mirror
servers will be removed from our DNS rotation on Monday, April 19, 2021.
This does not mean the server will stop working, just that it will no
longer be announced as a public mirror or accessed by the public. It
will continue to work as a fully functioning private mirror of the
SpamCop Blocking List.
At some future date we may change the protocol used to download the full
list. We recognize the contribution of our mirror volunteers and plan to
continue providing access at no charge. If you would like to continue
your access to the full SpamCop Blocking List to run a private mirror,
please let us know at service@admin[.]spamcop[.]net prior to April 12 so
we can notify you of any changes.
Thanks, Richard
