blackholes.us RBL is defunct and wildcarded
This is somewhat of a stability issue as I'm seeing a lot of remote mailservers affected. The blackholes.us series of RBLs (geotargetted IP space by country) is no more, hasn't been for awhile. It has now been wildcarded and answers positive to all queries. http://www.circleid.com/posts/20091013_unwelcome_afterlife_for_a_long_dead_blacklist/ Sorry if this is known, I checked the archives and didn't see anything. -mark -- Mark Jeftovic mar...@easydns.com / Jabber: mar...@easysip.com Founder / President, easyDNS Technologies Inc.

Re: blackholes.us RBL is defunct and wildcarded
The blackholes.us series of RBLs (geotargetted IP space by country) is no more, hasn't been for awhile. It has now been wildcarded and answers positive to all queries. The problem is that the domain has been abandoned, the IP block where its nameservers live was returned to ARIN and reallocated, and the new owner would like to get rid of the traffic. We've told him that wildcarding will not make the traffic go away, and I expect that in the next few days the domain will be turned off or at least the name servers pointed at someplace harmless.
