I can effectively stop the bots from connecting to servers by shutting down the Internet, but that doesn't make that solution reasonable or correct.Do spam block lists only block spam e-mails, or do they on occasion sometimes block both legitimate e-mail and spam?
It depends on the list.
Yes, your IRC was probably listed by mistake. And more than likely someone will correct that mistake. Yes, it is agravating to you personally because it is your server that was blocked by mistake. Although this seems to be the first bit mistake in over two years, does that make the practice unacceptable as another tool to respond to Bots?
The practice of blocking public EFnet servers? Yes, when there are better solutions to the problem at hand. ...
