Hehe, I assumed *you* guys had the ccTLD magic bullet. ;-)

Will check it out! (I hate to ask but is there any kind of direct URL access into SVN so I don't need to install the entire structure?)

An open request to everyone: if you know of or can find any registrar lists of ccTLDs that are not already in our list:

http://spamcheck.freeapp.net/two-level-tlds

then please forward them to me for addition. I think we're lacking places like Deutschland .de and Italia .it, and probably some smaller ones also.

N.B. found at http://www.denic.de/de/domains/index.html and added:

moebel.de glueckwunsch.de buecher.de boerse.de kueche.de buero.de fluege.de kuechen.de aerzte.de reisebuero.de

Surely there are many more. (Those look strange without Umlauten... :-)

This is for country code TLDs which should themselves be whitelisted. Doing so allows us to check the third levels after them. Therefore we want:

category.country

but not

domain.country

where an abstract category is like doctors, a city name, etc. where a potential spammer would register at a lower level like spamming.doctor.be or spamming-subdomain.london.uk . We don't want to whitelist spammer.uk so please don't include registered base domains that terminate at the second level.

TIA for any help with this,
