> IPv4 is already approaching the majority of all the addresses being > blocked. Well...not all that closely, at least not by people who care about their mail. The Spamhaus Zen list, arguably one of the most useful, best run, and least fringe of DNSBLs, currently lists slightly over 521 million addresses, a touch under 1/8th of the IPv4 space. Removing the PBL component - meaning, just bad actors (for SBL-XBL defintiions of "bad"), not including addresses whose providers say they're not supposed to be sending mail but which haven't necessarily been observed doing so - brings this down to between 11 and 12 million addresses, which is tiny; it's between 1/4 and 1/3 of 1% of IPv4 space. >>> Pushing responsibility to the edge does not work, and email >>> provides ample evidence. >> It's not that doing that has been tried and found wanting; rather, >> it has not been tried. > Have you heard of SPF? Yes. It flopped, no? If it had been widely adopted, I might have to decide whether I think it constitutes "pushing responsibility to the edge". But I don't. >> (Actually, it has been tried in a limited way; there are pieces of >> the net that _do_ push responsibility to the end user. Oddly >> enough, they are basically nonexistent as far as abuse emitters go; >> what evidence I see indicates that it _does_ work.) > Can you provide some specifics? I worked for McGill (a university in Montreal) for most of my career, some 15 years, about 10 of those as postmaster for one of the labs there. Certainly we, and to the extent that I saw it the rest of the University, imposed responsibility on end users. I am currently working for Openface Internet, an ISP in Montreal. While it's done very differently (the provider/user relationships are vastly different in the two contexts), we too push responsibility for the user of the address space we grant our customers to those customers. Neither of these were completely abuse-free. But nobody their size is - heck, even my house /28 once emitted some misbehaviour for a few minutes, when someone asked my help getting a machine cleaned up and I made a mistake with filtering - and I've seen no reason to think they were/are even slightly above the background noise. (If anyone has evidence to the contrary for Openface, please tell me; I'll certainly get it into the hands of our abuse handlers, and can track the issue. For McGill, I'm less able to act since I no longer work there, but it hasn't been so long I don't still know people.) Yes, they're tiny fractions of the net. Openface has a /19 and a /20. McGill had two /16s - I don't know what they have now. That doesn't invalidate my point. Other places, where similar policies and enforcement exist (or have existed), have exhibited similarly low abuse-emitter profiles in my experience. Other Montreal universities. RCN while Afterburner was abuse lead there - that was during a period when I made a point of complaining about every spam that got through to me, spending hours a day writing spam complaints, and I had all of _one_ occasion to write to RCN, which drew prompt and effective response. /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mouse@rodents-montreal.org / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
