Where you been hiding, Bill? That news is two weeks old. =) It seems old
to those that have been following the issue, anyway. MAPS is doing the
CDDB[1] thing anew. *sigh* What foolishness.

Hmmm. This is news for me. You can tell me more off-list, by all means,
I'm interested.
I have been conversing with several individuals over the past two weeks
exactly about this, let me quote myself:
I actually would love to see someone run a just, professional
blackhole service, which accepts *responsible* offers of help (either
in manpower terms, or coding, or DNS or bandwidth usage) and uses a
GPL/BSD compatible license for their code AND database. That would be
a great day. [I would eagerly support it with monies as well; via
paypal or that Amazon (*ugh*) thingy.]
What's to prevent the next blackholing service to take gratis
submissions and close the database unto itself? Nothing does. That's a
problem that needs addressing.
Here's a list of the blackholing services I am using for the past number
of weeks, the hit rate is high, particularly with 'or.orbl.org'.
However, in combination all the following services achieve near 100%
open relay hit rates and serve as an efficient MAPS RSS replacement.
MAPS RBL hits, while miniscule in number for me, don't seem to have a
counterpart in the new ORBS replacements.
BTW, you have heard that orbs.org is kaput?
The osirusoft.com service does DUL blackholing as well. While dynamic
IP, dial-up blackholing is controversial it would please me to have a
GPL'ed blackhole service replicate this as well, if it must be done.
'or.orbl.org',
'inputs.orbz.org',
'outputs.orbz.org',
'dev.null.dk',
'relays.ordb.org',
'orbs.dorkslayers.com',
'relays.osirusoft.com',
