The domain bought by a "squatter", and the list appears
to be "listing the world." Arbitrary Blackhole List. No TXT records,
missing test entry 127.0.0.2. Warning: It is willing to block large ISPs.
Lists IPs at http://abl.v6net.org/spammerslist.php3 Warning: Is not
testable.
Died about June, 2003. A list of mail servers and IP ranges which are
spam sources. Generally lists UK-based companies. Was 'Coming soon' (as

Is not testable.
Died about 16 December 2006 Confirmed that it is working on 24 Oct 2001.
Has 15 different return values, indicating the reason for the listing (IE
could be split up into as many as 12 tests). Includes interesting tests
such as no abuse@ address, and originating a DoS attack.. Does not have
TXT records. Warning: May contain a number of IPs that no longer
are associated with spammers, and are now allocated to legitimate customers
that can not be removed. May also blacklist entire ISPs.
Died May 2006. http://wiki.blitzed.org/OPM_status Combines the BLITZEDHTTP,
BLITZEDSOCKS, BLITZEDWINGATE, BLITZEDCISCO, and BLITZEDPOST tests. Confirmed
that it is working on 09 Apr 2002.
Died May 2006. http://wiki.blitzed.org/OPM_status Lists open HTTP (POST)
proxies. Assumed to be working on 20 Feb 2003 (since bitmask tests can't
be tested).
Died in January, 2004 (no 127.0.0.2 test entry; web site shows SQL errors).
Lists servers that have sent spam to BNBL and affiliate networks. Confirmed
that it is working on 06 Nov 2003.
Died ~November, 2003. Undocumented (but confirmed). 'Primarily for hosts
which were not blocked by other blackhole sites and spammed compu.net' according
to one source.
[Died in June, 2002] [Originally confirmed 03 Feb 2002, but without a
test entry, can not easily be re-confirmed] Supposedly lists mail servers
that have sent E-mail to accounts that only receive spam (no legitimate
mail). No docs on the return values, no test 127.0.0.2 entry, no zone transfers
allowed, so it's completely untestable. Added 10 Jan 2002. Warning:
Is not testable.
Dorkslayers recently added their ORBS-like database. This one lists open
relays outside of the United States (apparently so they won't get sued).
It seems as though they only list 'bad' open relays, rather than all known
ones. They do not recommend using their service, interestingly. About 8,000
mail servers were listed as of November, 2000.
Distributed Sender Boycott List. This is a 'trusted' portion of DSBL,
that accepts submissions of open relays and any other unsecure servers that
spammers can use to send spam. Confirmed on 28 Mar 2002.
Distributed Sender Boycott List. This is the 'untrusted' version (IE anyone
can submit to it) of the DSBL database, which accepts submissions of open
relays and any other unsecure servers that spammers can use to send spam.
Note that it will likely contain some popular free mail services and the
like, if their users maliciously submit entries. Confirmed on 05 Apr 2002.
Died 1 Dec 2003. Listed direct spam sources, indirect spam sources (using
open relays or other conduits to send spam), open proxy hits, Spamhaus SBL

including spamvertised sites, domains belonging to spamming organizations,
etc. Confirmed 02 Aug 2003.

granularity and a minimum of false postives by probing several IP numbers
in each /24 and examining PTR records). Confirmed 14 Dec 2001. Was WIREHUB-DYNA.
Died August, 2003. Listed spam sites that were seen by the exsilia.net
systems. Would block IP ranges and upstream providers. 127.0.0.2: Spamming;

running an insecure HTTP proxy that allows arbitrary port connections. No
TXT records, no 127.0.0.2 test entry. Warning: Is not testable.
Died 04 Feb 2004 (was apparently for internal use only). Not well documented.
Apparently lists IP ranges that have sent spam. Warning: Blocks larger
than /16 are used (so that an IP may be listed even if no spam was received
from any IP in the same /16 range), making it dangerous to block on this
test. Confirmed 23 Dec 2003.
Apparently lists dialup lines outside of Japan. Unconfirmable (no 127.0.0.2
test entry, no zone transfers allowed). May list every IP? May use jp.dialups.blacklist.jippg.org?
WARNING: Remember, dialup line databases should NOT be used on outgoing
E-mail. Warning: Is not testable.
Apparently lists dialup lines inside of Japan. Unconfirmable (no 127.0.0.2

both inputs and outputs. Assumed to be gone 30 Oct 2001 (no response for
several weeks). Warning: Is not testable.

(USA) tried to send the admin to jail, causing the ORBZ tests to stop (on
20 Mar 2002). Listed known open relay inputs. Was previously called ZONEIN.
Died in December, 2001. This is the one that returns 'This zone is defunct
stop using it' WITHOUT saying which zone it is! ORBZ (ORB UK) was a spinoff
based on ORBS, that was formed after ORBS was shut down. This database listed
open relay inputs. No TXT records. Warning: Is not testable.
Confirmed gone 10/24/01 (no NS records for the zone). ORBZ MANUAL was
a spinoff based on the ORBS 'manual entries' list, that was formed after

2002. Will notify servers when they get listed, and will automatically re-test
periodically.
Osirusoft's Dynamic IP Space list (such as dialups). This is similar to
the DUL test, except that some entries are added manually. We recommend
treating it similarly to the MAPS DUL test.
Osirusoft's list of verified open relays. This should be very similar
to the ORBSMAIN test. We do not recommend using this, unless you simply
warn the recipient.
Osirusoft's list of Spamware Software Developers. It is believed that
these are IP ranges of companies that are known to produce spam software.
Similar to or the same as SPAMHAUS/SBL test.
Osirusoft's Confirmed Spam Source list. This appears to mostly be from
the SPEWS list. Warning: Intentionally lists legitimate mailservers
that either have IPs close to spammers, or that had problems in the past
that have been completely fixed. Should not be used to block mail,
although could be used in a weighting system.
Pan-Am Internet Services' Dynamic List. Lists home dialup, broadband,
and similar networks. No TXT records, missing 127.0.0.2 test entry. Not
officially distributed by DNS. Warning: Is not testable.
Lists domains that are 'bandwidth pigs' and spammers, that keep trying
to send E-mail to users after finding out that the user does not accept
mail. May return other codes than 127.0.0.1. Does not include test 'example.com'
address, and no TXT records, but verified to be working on 14 Dec 2001.
Temporary disabled February, 2004. Expected to come back. RelayWatcher
was designed to create a network of relay testers that report their results
to a central server.
Died December, 2003, by blacklisting everyone, and strangly claiming that
they died before they even started. Was undocumented except in a mailing
list. Apparently would list IPs sending spam to the person running rope.net.
Confirmed 09 Apr 2002. Confirmed dead 23 Dec 2003. No TXT records.
Ceased functioning about August, 2003. Listed mailservers that were involved
in E-mail abuse. This was the temporary list, which means that the IPs could
later be removed. Warning: Is not testable.
Died late June, 2003 (in a bad way -- reporting all mail as spam!), due
to 'abuse from various commercial entities'. Listed IPs of mailservers that
sent spam to spamtraps, or that users complained about. Confirmed 16 Jun
2003.
Dead 27 May 2003 Lists networks that send out spam, perform dictionary
attacks, both the direct sources and the networks used by them (and networks

Test listing confirmed 14 Dec 2001.

system administrators deny E-mail from. Warning: Intentionally lists

problems in the past that have been completely fixed. Should not
be used to block mail, although could be used in a weighting system.

Listed mail servers that have sent out spam (would not scan for open relays).
Updated by hand. Had TXT records. Confirmed 127.0.0.2 test entry on 14 Dec
2001. Went down approximately 21 May 2002.
Came back as AHBL. Warning: Is not testable.
Apparently died in October, 2003. Listed every IP address (for the totally
clueless: that means that every E-mail from anybody on the Internet will
be blocked). Should not be used, of course. This one was included because
it has a good point: you REALLY should know what and why a test blocks before
using it. Confirmed 09 Apr 2002. Warning: Is not testable.
Died 06 Nov 2003. Extreme spam Blocking List, possibly designed to have
every known IP listed. Warning: They include Sprint and uunet IPs,
