ORDB.org Going Offline

Posted by Hemos on from the the-end-of-the-road dept.

Allan Joergensen writes "ORDB.org has announced that they will shut down their services after fighting open relays and spam for more than five and a half years. The RBL DNS service and mailing lists will be taken down today (December 18, 2006) and the website will vanish by December 31, 2006." The reasons given tend to be the usual ones - volunteers have been focused on other things in life; my salute to those folks for keeping the service up as long as they did.

  1. Spam Can-Doers by Doc+Ruby · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Since the Republican Congress "defeated spam" with their CAN-SPAM Act, I've noticed my incoming spam double every month for years. While I notice that the antispam organizations keep folding, or even getting shut down.
