The dnswl.org project now has a somewhat functioning infrastructure—some backend tools and database to create various output formats (eg for the DNS servers, for rsync, for Postfix etc) and is ready to actually manage the data.
The goal of dnswl.org is to initiate a collaborative effort of whitelisting. Instead of each and every admin and site managing and maintaining their own whitelist, dnswl.org allows to join forces by combining data from different sources (plus manually added data) and redistributing it through several channels.
In order to widen the use and reach of dnswl.org, I’m asking for your help:
- Currently, the main DNS server for dnswl.org answers about 2’000 queries per minute; since the traffic is growing, I’m looking for someone willing to host a DNS mirror.
- If you have whitelisting data from a trustworthy source, we can arrange a one-time or regular import of this data. You can contact me by mail (admins@dnswl.org) or use the feedback/request form.
- If use the data and you see a) errors or b) “false negatives” (ie spam coming from a whitelisted IP address) please let me know.
- If you would like to join the administration of dnswl.org, I should know you already or you should know somebody I know (you may want to check my openBC/XING profile and contacts).
Thanks!
