They seem to be an attempt to clone spews. 99.99% of the website was directly copied from spews.org >From the website at http://www.apews.org/?page=news "12/28/06 APEWS was foundet by some People thinking SPEWS is dead but their work was great. So we decide to countinue their great work and present a new up to date list in SPEWS-style, and even make it better." (note: all typo's original) There's a lot of good discussion here: http://groups.google.gg/group/news.admin.net-abuse.email/browse_thread/thread/4035a054652987ec/89c81a5772218583?lnk=gst&q=spews&rnum=8 Personally, I think spews was useful as an informational tool, but was absolute crap as a spam filtering tool. Given that apews seems to be a less-literate group of operators (or at least ones who don't know how to use a spell checker), I'd venture to speculate this list is list will ultimately meet some of the following speculations: - be as rabid as spews, if not more so - have stronger barriers to communication than spews. - be highly prone to errors in entry (judging from the typos in the little original text, I expect the same in the zonefile..)
