DRBL stands for Distributed Realtime Black List. There was a MAPS RBL service
|
|
in the Net, that perfectly worked for a long time. Unfortunately, MAPS LLC
|
|
stops their public services by July 31, 2001, which in fact means the most
|
|
effective anti-spam engine in the Net is dead.
|
|
|
|
DRBL differs from MAPS RBL in it's distributed nature. Instead of a
|
|
proprietary database controlled by certain people, DRBL offers every
|
|
network to establish its own database and share it with colleagues.
|
|
DRBL method of operation is similar to "old" RBL, but the main difference is
|
|
(1) using many "local" databases instead of one centralized and
|
|
(2) sharing information among them, so many other networks can make decisions
|
|
whether some server is a junk generator and has to be banned, and ever do that
|
|
automatically by getting and analyzing such information from different sources.
