RE: uribl.com implementing ACLs
Since the last DDOS it would have been nice if the big guys ran local mirrors instead of making the problem worse. No donations and hammering away at the server I wonder why small RBLs drop off the planet. I salute every one who has donated time, machines, banwidth, and love to URIBL. The rest of you leechers need to run a local mirror. Damn this seems like a bitchy reply. I'm having a good morning too. Hmmm... I blame the Red Sox losing! --Chris (The views expressed in this email do not reflect the official position of URIBL.

Re: uribl.com implementing ACLs
IMO, one of the best and _easiest_ things any site can do to show love to any blacklist service is: run a local mirror. Even better is to run a publicly accessible mirror ... but a local mirror lessens your impact on the service you're consuming. Ask them when and often you can pull the mirror over, and be as accommodating to them as possible. Offering donations is always good too ... but, like I said, it's easy to do the local mirror, and it can really help reduce the impact on the blacklist service. PLUS it will probably have a noticeable impact on the network lookup latency on your own servers.
