Actually, after some off-list chat with Rob Skedgell I recently finished a first attempt at a plugin for a dnsbl for phone numbers[1], having put together a monstrous, by-country static ruleset based on international dialing codes[2]. It's met with reasonable success here against 419 and associated check-fraud spam using harvested data[3], but will need some serious thought, testing, tweaking and infrastructure before it can be used in production... I'd be intrigued to read any other comments and discussion that have happened... Thanks, C.
