Interesting, thanks for the pointer.

I've wondered about this previously as I run my own blacklists for $work's mail servers, thinking about how I could slightly "penalize" brand new domain names and such, correlating "spammy" domains with certain nameservers and such.

What if someone were to maintain an unofficial list with one domain per line, freely available as a daily torrent or served directly? Would there be a rights problem with mirroring and filtering ICANN data?

Same question here

isn't it essentially public data though?

There's a DNSBL for that:

Why not just upload it to Github? Then you only need to send the deltas for every update.

I was just thinking of creating a bot that will update the list(s) and push the changes back on GitHub every day.

But first, I definitely have to see if it's against GitHub's terms of service.
