Distributing an RBL list is the easy part.
Why stop there ? The generating of the list itself can be a P2P thing too. You could peer with a group of people you trust and exchange the list of IP addresses that send crap into each other's spamtraps. Then block IP addresses that have sent crap (measured by SA?) into the spamtraps of multiple people, or come up with other nice metrics. I'm sure you can come up with all kinds of tricks here. I started a project with this goal a while ago, but to my shame it still hasn't moved beyond the "spamtrap fed blocklist" stage yet, we simply haven't gotten around to writing the p2p parts yet. ;( I'd appreciate help though ;) http://spamikaze.nl.linux.org/ Rik -- "Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place.
