MethLabs Shuts out PeerGuardian

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the hard-luck-and-epic-battles dept.

Lost&Confused writes to tell us Slyck News is reporting that most of Methlabs.org administration and development staff have been forced out of their own website. For the time being PeerGuardian is being hosted on sourceforge. However, users are advised to stop using the Methlabs.org and Blocklist.org hosted blocklists in favor of the Bluetack list until they can sort things out.

    Stop using blacklists altogether. It isn't like the experiment hasn't been tried and failed. Folks have been using them for many years now, in increasing numbers, and the quantity of spam has decreased not at all, while many legitimate mails have been inadvertently (or intentionally, in some cases) squelched. Blacklists represent a ridiculously bad tradeoff of reliability for security, to the point that they do serve a useful function for me; I can tell who has a clue about running a mail system by whether they have them turned on or not.
