Sigh. There used to be a list of spammers' domain names, such as
cyberpromo.com.  There were some companies (PGP) that were considering mail
reader products which would do filtering on domain names.  But after the
new copyright law was passed, they dropped their plans for this scheme.

of course, the specific point of discussion was that you suggested that
there were potential trademark/copyright issues associated with rbl operation.

clearly there are not. the rest of your posting appears to be an attempt to
change the subject to evade admitting that you are talking through your hat.
