markcasey Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 The only thing I could find relating to this was here. The China one seems dead. Does anyone know dns blacklists for entire countries? Generally wanting to add China, Russia etc to my dns blacklist. It'd be nice if a site listed all known dns blacklists, the nearest thing I can find to that is on wikipedia but alas that doesn't include any lists which cover entire countries. EDIT: Oh, looks like I may have answered my own question. D'oh. It was linked in the wiki article I linked to... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidT Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 There are some "entire country" DNS blacklists, but some of them have apparently fallen by the wayside. For example, SpamCop email account filters offer these: korea.services.net cn.countries.nerd.dk ng.countries.nerd.dk ar.countries.nerd.dk br.countries.nerd.dk You'll find more information about those two resources here: http://korea.services.net/ http://countries.nerd.dk/more.html One of those that previously "went away" has apparently come back from the dead: http://www.cluecentral.net/rbl/ Another that was formerly offered to the SC email customers, blackholes.us, appears to be a "headless horseman," in that there's a service still answering queries, but the owner/operator seems to have fallen off the face of the earth, and the accuracy of his system was called into question here loudly enough to get it removed. I found references to other resources here: http://spamlinks.net/filter-bl.htm#ip-country Which includes this site: http://blockacountry.com/ on which you can select individual countries and generate "deny" lists that can be pasted into ".htaccess" files. There are probably more out there...a little more googling will show you the way. :-) DT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markcasey Posted February 20, 2008 Author Share Posted February 20, 2008 Thanks, curiously enough i've just been reading up on all of the above. Currently countries.nerd.dk is being flaky with me, so just trying to find out why it isn't happy. I added the blackholes.us ones, time to remove them then I guess.

SpamBasher Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Something maybe interesting for private users:- I discovered that some blacklists allow an entry like *[at]*.ru which has cut my spam a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I gave the wrong format. It should be *.ru Access for using this format probably needs to be via FTP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petzl Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Sorry, I gave the wrong format. It should be *.ru Access for using this format probably needs to be via FTP. just ru in blacklist is what is required for emails with from address ending in ru will put it in held folder For Brazil I put in br hotmail.com will stop all email with hotmail.com in from address You whitelist will override all blacklists (use full email addresses) although just cz will allow all mail with from address ending in cz to go to inbox (unless it contains a virus then it's deleted) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
