an RBL for virus alert senders?

2007-02-10 Thread Mark Jeftovic



Is there an RBL for mail servers run by brain dead postmasters that 
insist on running anti-viral software that sends out less-than-useless 
virus alerts, virus in your email, banned attachment spewage to 
the guaranteed-to-be-forged From address in the message headers?


I wouldn't mind never receiving another piece of email from servers like 
that again. Ever.


Bueller? Bueller?

A number of DNSBLs now includes zones for outscatter (aka backscatter)
senders running either broken anti-virus s/w, broken anti-spam s/w,
broken mailers, or broken appliances.

See:

for a useful collection of links.  For DNSBLs, I believe you may wish
to look at:

http://www.uceprotect.net/en/index.php?m=3s=0

(Keep in mind that the last was written by folks whose native tongue
is German, so cut them some slack on spelling/grammar errors.)

I think (but am not sure) that Spamcop also lists outscatter senders.
