The other question I have, and I've asked this before, is: Are the return values consistent from one RBL provider to another? Will "127.0.0.2" always mean a Verified Open Relay, etc? I'd sure like to see someone more knowledgeable than I, prepare a web page showing, in tabular form, each RBL provider, the corresponding SIMS RBL Server List entry, what it blocks, what it returns, etc. so that persons like myself can keep it all straight. Any volunteers? If not, I'll prepare and post it, but I'll need info such as that below for each provider from someone, and I'll need critics to point out the errors after it's posted. > >127.0.0.2 Verified Open Relay >A verified open relay in most cases is handled by other relay blocklist >servers, and imported into the Zone file. >127.0.0.3 Dialup Spam Source >Dialup Spam Sources are imported into the Zone file from other sources and >some known sources are manually added to the local include file. >127.0.0.4 Confirmed Spam Source >A site has been identified as a constant source of spam, and is manually >added.
