If there were only some way to blackhole smurf amplifier routes globally... sigh.
There is. It's been suggested several times in the past. All it takes is someone willing to maintain/distribute it as in the case of the BGP distribution of the RBL. Unlike the MAPS RBL, participation in the Smurf RBL wouldn't offer any protection...it just inconveniences the sites blackholed and anyone wanting to access those sites. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Jon Lewis <jlewis@fdt.net> | Spammers will be winnuked or Network Administrator | drawn and quartered...whichever Florida Digital Turnpike | is more convenient. ______http://inorganic5.fdt.net/~jlewis/pgp for PGP public key____
