    We already have RBL, and I'm all for creating a new one not limited to
    e-mail.
    Personally, I'd be more than happy to firewall out all the losers who are,
    in
    a way, driving on the highway leaking fuel. if you can't keep your car in
    working condition, you shouldn't be on the highway for you are a danger not
    only to yourself.
    
    Now for a company, that is a little tougher. We don't want to deny our users
    parts of the internet. However, I do believe I can argue a strong case if
    the
    list is well-kept and errs on the side of caution. IOW if I can make a case
    that
    the list does considerably more good than damage, then I'm sure I can get my
    company to use it.
    
    One problem is that you can't really filter large chunks of individual IPs
    on
    the border routers without investing in new hardware quickly. This will be
    one
    of the problems this project needs to solve.
