Re: "generalised swearing. It's a part of modern language" -- that's a culture-specific interpretation. Such behavior doesn't occur in most of the world and it never occurred when I was growing up in 1950s America; then I went abroad for 45 years and coming back to America smutty language is indeed widespread. It's not 'modern': it's a degenerate phenomenon of certain cultures. It's unknown in much of the world. It's repugnant to refined sensibilities. Behaving this way doesn't betoken one's "modernity" -- it betoken's one's personal coarseness. Jeffrey Race

The RBL Policy discussion is interesting, but we've gone wildly off track and it has become focused, unfortunately, on one provider. I'm not going to tell anyone what to think of Spamhaus, but this conversation is not the right place to go on specifically about them. I think the relevant opinions have been aired and nobody is going to be convinced one way or the other. If there is more discussion of general RBL Policy and whether bans should be longer/shorter/whatever or the other points Andre raised, great. If you aren't talking about this, please don't post it here. There are lots of other lists and forums and things on the Internet where you can post away.

We will update the number of emails practiced these days: Source: Cisco http://www.senderbase.org/static/spam/#tab=0 AVERAGE DAILY VOLUME (BILLIONS) – Last Month Spam 473.62 85.56% Legitimate 79.85 14.43% Malware 0.0557 0.0101% 473 billion spam PER DAY in last Month. 172 trillions per year. Mamma mia! It's a lot, but a lot of money! It is clear, clear as crystal, because some ISPs refuse to cancel the contract even knowing that his customer is a felon with convictions in court, proven swindler, known scammer... And several times retaliate because they do not support complaints. Could anyone tell me what the revenue is for hosting and sending 172 trillions of spam per year?

The RBL Policy discussion is interesting, but we've gone wildly off track and it has become focused, unfortunately, on one provider. I'm not going to tell anyone what to think of Spamhaus, but this conversation is not the right place to go on specifically about them. I think the relevant opinions have been aired and nobody is going to be convinced one way or the other. If there is more discussion of general RBL Policy and whether bans should be longer/shorter/whatever or the other points Andre raised, great. If you aren't talking about this, please don't post it here. There are lots of other lists and forums and things on the Internet where you can post away.

or should block lists not auto de list at all any longer? If still auto de-list - Considering the change in abuse patterns and technology, should the block times be increased or de-creased? Then; Ignoring pre-emptive - predictive (in advance for no reason) blocking: Does society require more specialist non auto de-list DNSBLs?

Right now, even some of the large DNSBL that do have automatic removal, is thinking about stopping auto removals and there are suggestions to have "minimum listing times" I am not sure exactly what that means or how it will work, but I assume that the specific list will not remove any listing for a set period of time (like a penalty box) In my own opinion, I think that all listing removals should only be manual and that there is a set number of removals, after which listing becomes permanent. and, I am not demanding anything. lol Andre

or should block lists not auto de list at all any longer? If still auto de-list - Considering the change in abuse patterns and technology, should the block times be increased or de-creased? Then; Ignoring pre-emptive - predictive (in advance for no reason) blocking: Does society require more specialist non auto de-list DNSBLs? (Would it be helpful to civil society, law enforcement etc to have a "child pornography" dnsbl? or a phish dnsbl? - or is the reactive time to high in order for dynamic ipv4? - but on ipv6 allocations to devices could be more 'permanent'? etc) Andre ------------------------------ Message: 4 Date: Mon, 30 Jan 2017 13:21:54 +0000 From: HRH Prince Sven Olaf von CyberBunker <svenk(a)xs4all.nl> To: anti-abuse-wg(a)ripe.net Subject: Re: [anti-abuse-wg] Fwd: Re: RBL policy Message-ID: <840945de-6bb5-c7f3-a7e7-231ea0117f23(a)xs4all.nl> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"; Format="flowed" smtp is just one of many protocols out there, a primitive, fairly unimportant and severely lacking in terms of security one at that, and it's protection cannot be a reason for any disconnection -ever-.

RBL Discussion Update
by Brian Nisbet 31 Jan '17

31 Jan '17

Ok folks... The RBL Policy discussion is interesting, but we've gone wildly off track and it has become focused, unfortunately, on one provider. I'm not going to tell anyone what to think of Spamhaus, but this conversation is not the right place to go on specifically about them. I think the relevant opinions have been aired and nobody is going to be convinced one way or the other. If there is more discussion of general RBL Policy and whether bans should be longer/shorter/whatever or the other points Andre raised, great. If you aren't talking about this, please don't post it here. There are lots of other lists and forums and things on the Internet where you can post away.

Strafgesetzbuch (StGB) § 240 Nötigung (1) Wer einen Menschen rechtswidrig mit Gewalt oder durch Drohung mit einem empfindlichen Übel zu einer Handlung, Duldung oder Unterlassung nötigt, wird mit Freiheitsstrafe bis zu drei Jahren oder mit Geldstrafe bestraft. (2) Rechtswidrig ist die Tat, wenn die Anwendung der Gewalt oder die Androhung des Übels zu dem angestrebten Zweck als verwerflich anzusehen ist. (3) Der Versuch ist strafbar. (4) In besonders schweren Fällen ist die Strafe Freiheitsstrafe von sechs Monaten bis zu fünf Jahren. Ein besonders schwerer Fall liegt in der Regel vor, wenn der Täter 1. eine Schwangere zum Schwangerschaftsabbruch nötigt oder 2. seine Befugnisse oder seine Stellung als Amtsträger mißbraucht. being forced to spend manhours (= money) to 'delist' from 3rd party dns blacklists is 'empflindliche uebel', and yes you are forcing them into a 'handlung (delisting/acting AGAINST their paying customer), duldung (ignoring the fact that you call them and others affected by your block 'spammers') or 'unterlassung' (interfering with their provider immunity and right to sell services to anyone, anywhere, and keep doing so - as long as those don't break the law -there- and even if they do you can still sell them services as that's their problem -there- not yours. per-se. ;) now. that's just the blackmail part and just the BRD part... other eu memberstates usually have simular laws... if you knowingly and willingly insert ips into a blackmail infrastructure which you have advertised with the argument that you KNOW a listing has impact on 1/3rd of the worlds mail delivery, or worse, such as spamhaus DROP, where you KNOW a listing causes part of the internet to completely drop that traffic, as you advertise it just for -that- purpose and know how many nodes use it, that completely falls under pretty much any computer sabotage act out there -ever-. but... ofcourse... to you... some not-even-illegal use of 'smtp' or some wintendo virusses that could be out there, are of higher priority than keeping the internet working, and not breaking any laws yourself. keep in mind, we, the owners of the internet, isps and carriers, and yes we do OWN it, 'tolerate' blacklists... as long as they don't go around making silly demands, such as 'contacting' them, or gaining too much influence and starting to 'demand' to disconnect things without even bothering to get a court order. what's next... the RIAA setting up one as well?
