JANET DNSBLs

JANET has its own copies of the following leading DNSBLs:

DNS Block Lists are a well-established technique. They identify sources of e-mail abuse as lists of IP address blocks, enabling JANET organisations to quickly and easily reject a high proportion of unwanted e-mail.

Unlike most blocklists, SURBLs and URIBLs are not lists of message senders but URLs (Web addresses, some but not all representing undesirable sites) which have been seen in e mail messages identified as spam or phishing, or are otherwise dangerous. Links seen in such messages tend to be more stable than the rapidly changing botnet IP addresses used to send the vast majority of them. The Spamhaus and MAPS sender lists can be used in a first stage filter and the SURBL and URIBL lists can help in a second stage filter to find many of the otherwise difficult, remaining unwanted messages.
