Spam Trap


TOTAL QUALITY MANAGEMENT - A COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our spam-trap block lists are updated daily IN REAL TIME and formatted for RBLDNSD (our RBLDNSD howto pages are here). You really need to read these first if you do not have a working knowledge of rbldnsd. Here's a list of what was added to the blocklists since midnight. See below for list descriptions.

Hate Spam? VOLUNTEER to help seed our spam traps. Fill out a contact form and we'll send you an individual email account to use. We'll even update you on your effectiveness weekly.

The lists are now available via rsync: "rsync -l tqmcube.com::spamlists" for details or;
"rsync -t tqmcube.com::spamlists/[clients] [dynamic] [relays] [asiaspam]"

The SPAMTRAP Clients List:

These clients sent mail to one of our spam trap email addresses and;
They were not picked up by Spamhaus, Spamcop nor SORBS. The false positive rate on this list should be insignificant. It would be zero were it not for the "nitwit factor."
Individual dynamic clients may be included. If the script identifies these as dynamic, a separate /24 listing is created in the dynamic list.
Relay attempts are in a separate list to provide a proper reject message to avoid ruffling the feathers of legitimate relay testers.
Some /24 blocks were added to the list manually based on observation.
NEW - We are now providing a specific, spam-trap POSITIVE client list ("asiaspam") comprised of rejects from banned origination areas (PRC, Korea and Taiwan). If you are already blocking these areas then there is no need for the additional list.
Our own IP was included (somehow grepped) in the initial list. The scripts have been adjusted.

2/23/05: A script error that prevented the dynamic list from being properly updated has been corrected.

3/1/05: The lists are now updated in REAL TIME.
