Chris and Ryan and Raymond, don't even think about proposing a subdomain list. LOL! ;-)
What's the problem with this idea ? It would be only one level above the real host, so for say claranet.de you would have to consider www.claranet.de and xyzzy.claranet.de, but you would ignore www.xyzzy.claranet.de or more.levels.xyzzy.claranet.de
Then if I start to spamvertize my site you catch me without hitting any other user.claranet.de (let alone www.claranet.de)
Assuming that my ISP doesn't neeed weeks to cancel my account after I started to spam the xyzzy entry will expire soon.
It's about time ICANN cracked down on rogue registrars.
I'll believe it when I see it. These registrars pay ICANN's budget, don't they ?
There will always be disagreement about that optimization point. That is natural. (It's also a PITA.)
Sometimes your criteria appear to be a bit obscure for me. Of course some people may love a "joke of the day" mail - that's okay, if they like it they won't report it as spam.
But others don't like any unsolicited jokes, and they would report it as spam. In that case the joke-of-the-day site _is_ spamming, and it's okay to list them. Even if they also have some real fans with a "legit" interest in their joke of the day. In that case you can't avoid a collateral damage, whatever you do. Bye, Frank
hmmm.... can't we treat these like we treat com.ar tld? or co.uk? Like Frank said, just checking the subdomain one more level up for these guys. I don't see the harm in that. Or am I missing something again?
I think what Jeff meant was another SURBL list entirely ;) No, I think we have enough as well.
