After all, wishes for a lot of tags for other applications might possibly appear, blowing up the IP-Database... So it was decided to do it (if at all) as a separate database, that could server for any number of different needs. Therefore, the issue was handed over to the database-working-group. > All I wanted was to enable ISP's to cooperate on this tactic > against "hit and run" spammers. That raises the questions 'who will/should maintain the data and the database' and 'who will tell the ISPs to use + how to use it' > Poul-Henning Kamp FreeBSD coreteam member Best Regards, HaJo Gurt ------------------------------------------------------------------- Nacamar Network Administration NACAMAR Data Communications guardian at nacamar.net Robert-Bosch-Str. 32 D-63303 Dreieich +49 6103 993 0 Voice Germany +49 6103 993 222 FAX gurt at nacamar.de ------------------------------------------------------------------- My name is Borg, James Borg.
