/RBL/ Abbreviation: Realtime Blackhole List. A service that allows people to
blacklist sites for emitting spam , and makes the blacklist available in
real time to electronic-mail transport programs that know how to use RBL so
they can filter out mail from those sites. Drastic (and controversial) but
effective. There is an RBL home page.
