Thinking out loud... Would it be possible for the two sides (blocklists and a cloud/hosting providers) to come together and have some kind of automated notification?
Sample automated conversation via JSON API: - The blocklist adds a block for X net block - Resolves the owner of the net block (XYZ provider) - Submits a JSON report to XYZ provider (https://blocklist.api.provider.com) - The provider takes an automated action (close port 25) - The provider takes manual action by getting in touch with their client - Client of the server takes action (clean server) - Client of the server requests delisting via a web form Thus: - the actual client of the server is notified of a security incident in a timely manner - spam is stopped as soon as possible! Would any of this be possible? Someone should write the RFC :) _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list mailop@mailop.org https://list.mailop.org/listinfo/mailop
