gEmnet Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Hi there, I had an Idea and I am actively developing it. Maybe already existent I don't know but I am developing an url shortening service that will be free for ever and without advertisement at all. Now, the problem is that I never click on a shortened url because I think that can be vectors for malicious intents so my idea was to implement two different kind of controls before accepting an url: 1) OpenDNS to block phishing/malicious websites. 1) SpamCOP to block phishing/malicious IP address. (Yes, 1 and 1) As I am asking the same to OpenDNS, there's an opportunity to use a SpamCOP API to recognize if an IP is blacklisted? Sorry for my english, be kind... this is also my first thread and I hope to have an answer to my request - Obviously I will like to say in the website "Proudly powered by SpamCOP technology".

rconner Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 there's an opportunity to use a SpamCOP API to recognize if an IP is blacklisted?You can query the SpamCop Blocking List (SBL) to see whether or not it has listed an address as a known recent spam mail source. You can query via the web, or using standard DNS-like calls to the server (which is why lists like SCBL are often called DNS Blocking Lists or DNSBLs). I don't know whether there's an "API" per se but the DNSBL procedures are pretty standard among many blockling lists. See here: http://www.spamcop.net/bl.shtml. -- rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuantumMechanic Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 better to also use a domain block list perhaps? http://www.spamhaus.org/dbl/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
