Blacklists exists for a reason, the reason is that spam has been neglected for so long and so little has benn done by those that _should_ take action. This very group is a good example, once created to fight spam, but when very little got effected the list was renamed to anti-abuse. Today it deals mostly with whois-enhancements. Sorry, but this is my personal experience. When nothing else works, blocking a range is what remains. Yes, blocking could be made better, for example some feedback from registries when a block has been reallocated might be of value. This info could be announced in by RIPE et.al. so blocklist operators may pick up this info. > > > > > -- Peter Håkanson There's never money to do it right, but always money to do it again ... and again ... and again ... and again.
