Hi, I guess you are also scanning incoming email already with an antispam software and that your are using the rbl's of interest already. We realized that spammer usually also send spam to email addresses captured from outlook address books an the spambotted PC or relay through your mailservers, if they spambotted a PC of your own customer. So: if there is one of your dialin customers PCs captured with a spambot, you will also receive spam from this PC to your other customers email addresses, to the email address of the customer himself or your own mailservers. So: check your own anti spam results for your own IP address range. If your other customers receive spam from your own IPs, or your mailserver relay with an IP of your own IP range and the scoe is very high, you can surely - be sure that your IP will end up on other rbls, if you are not acting quick enough and try a multi rbl list like http://multirbl.valli.org/ to check that IP and fix the rbls, that already list your IP - inform your customer, that his PC is captured and block outgoing smtp for him (we simply change his dial-in password and log him out, if some thresholds are reached ;o) This surely only works, if you have enough dialin customers and enough other customer domains that are receiving mail and works even better, if your customers are using your own mailservers as outgoing mailservers (ok, this only works, if the spambot is not having an own SMTP engine). We automated this and do not have a lot of botted customers, but we find them and turn them off, before the IPs end up on any other RBL. I bet it also works great, if a webspace or housingserver is misused. There are nice spamassassin modules, that insert the AS of the sender IP into the header, so you can easily scan for this header-field. In SA is also a mechanism called ALL_TRUSTED, that inserts this flag, if the user also identified via POP3 oder SMTP-Auth, if you ever receive an email with a very high score and its all ALL_TRUSTED, you can also be sure, that your own customers PC is spambotted. Surely you will not get any rbl listings because of webvertized URLs or the like ... Kind regards, Frank

Yes, you can use "blacklist" widget of RIPEstat: https://stat.ripe.net It finds periods when parts of a prefix featured in one of several blacklists: so far, we are using data from Spamhaus DROP and UCE PROTECT. Example (sorry, random IP range, it has to belong to someone...) https://stat.ripe.net/212.15.240.0/24#blacklist Please let me know if this serves your purpose, and any feedback that you have.

Hi all, I am new to this list, but have a - to me very important - question. For a good number of years I have made a serious effort to report SPAM, in fact I have built and published a handy-dandy SPAM reporting tool for Windows - see my tag line. Over the years I have consistently found that of all the databases RIPE is the one with by far the fewest entries with a proper e-mail address for reporting SPAM. Can anyone give me some reasons for this and even more importantly what I can do or whom to address to get something done about it?

I'd strongly recommend you read this WG's email archives for extensive discussion on this topic Thank you, Michele, I will do so.
Before signing up, I looked for the archives, but what I found at the time seemed several years old, which led me to believe the list was very quiet - and possibly dormant. When I looked again after receiving your reply, I did find what looks like the current archive which shows the list to be quite active :-) But, from the looks of things - at least the archive I did find http://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/anti-abuse-wg/ - I will I have to download the archive to be able to search for the thread of interest. Could you please point me to an approximate date - at least a year or month - where I should start looking? TIA, Arnold
