Where's blackholes.us?

I was relying on a couple lists at blackholes.us to block a lot of spam. But the server is down without any news as to why. When I can't use the blackholes.us blacklists, my spam triples.

I found a replacement list to use at okean.com, but they don't have a DNSBL, so I have to figure out how to best integrate their list with klunky sendmail. Anyone have a tutorial?

Update 2005-09-30: I recently found countries.nerd.dk and I'm trying out their DNSBL. Yesterday it blocked a couple hundred spams from the countries I specified.

Greetings,

I'm the creator and maintainer of the CN/KR listings at okean.com.

I do not maintain publicly accessable dns zones for cn/kr dnsbl usage, as I do not have the bandwidth to handle the thousands of users who would probably use it.

I do, however, maintain ready-made zone files available for people to use to make their own cn/kr dnsbl zone files with only a few minor edits. You can find these files at:

http://www.okean.com/antispam/dns/dns.html

My zone files are far more current and comprehensive than the nerd.dk files.

--Mike
