I'm curious why proj honeypot does not make it's data available through a standard DNSBL ?

I don't know what you mean with "standard" but the PHP data are polled in a very simple way through the http:BL API, using the DNS request system to make sure it's blazingly fast.

Good enough for most any use; if you have something out of the ordinary, drop the PHP devs a note.

I'm wondering the same too, the trouble with your implementation (ie: [Access Key] [Octet-Reversed IP] dnsbl.httpbl.org) is that you can't plug it straight into a mail server configuration file.

Why not [Octet-Reversed IP] [Access Key] dnsbl.httpbl.org instead?

W.Siaw, you're not allowed to use the DNSBL for mail servers.

"You agree that it is a violation of this Agreement to use information provided by the HTTP:BL service to block email. Use of HTTP:BL to block email subjects you to the immediate revocation of your Access Key and potential additional sanctions."

Read the service agreement...

Maybe I should read the service agreement.

But I got a question, why not?
