Any ISPs out there (big or small) ever used the Spamhaus BGP feed to prevent against botnet, spam, etc? If so, how has your experience been? Is it worthwhile? Has it helped? On / off list responses are appreciated in advance.
We've been using the BGP feed for a little over a year now. We had some problems with malware infected end user PCs causing upstream congestion resulting in "slow internet" complains. The spamhouse feed definitely helped a little with our problem but it's not the magic super tool to completely stop malware in your network. On the other hand there was no complain due to a false positive (a couple of years ago we had one complain due to a false positive on the EDROP list). Best Regards, Frederik Kriewitz
