Anyone on my friends list have experience with the spamhaus DROP (Do Not Route Or Peer) list? Any info about how it is working out for you? I thought it was available via multihop BGP peering, but I don't see anything about that on the website for spamhaus or spamteq - just the rsync option.

I'm not an expert, but if you have specific questions, I'm camped in an IRC channel with a couple of them and would be happy to relay, or if'n you got complex questions, I could probably dig up an email address you could send them to.

I can tell you that it's a very tiny list, containing only the shittiest things: I think mostly malware C&C and virus payload sites and the like. It's not going to block near as much raw amounts of badness into your network than the CBL/PBL/XBL is. But the stuff that' it's going to block, you REALLY don't want.

Is it just rsyncing a file, or is there some remote router I can set up a some multi-hop BGP peering session with? The online docs vaguely mention BGP but I can't find anything definitive.

And, yeah, it mostly seems to be a supplement for bogon filtering.

Thanks!

The word from Spamhaus: "you can either download the textfile (free) or pay some money for a bgp peering session"

Ah, cool. Based on their on-site docs, I can't figure out who I would talk to about paying. The spamhaus docs point to feed vendors who are all "HERE ARE RSYNC FEEDS OF THIS DATA MOSTLY THE RBL" and nothing about bgp.

BTW, thank you for passing messages. I should buy you a drink!
