Lists of proxies
I found a mention in Wikipedia relating to anonymous proxies. Netaholic used the list in Zahariev’s list of proxies to create a list of proxies for blocking.
Some linkspammers use lists of proxies that are still not entered into the big lists of open proxies, so poaching their lists can be of use, if combined with the lists of open proxies. Maybe we could get some kind of script or software for making lists of IP numbers (sorting, removing duplicates) for such lists? You’d start with a grepped log file, grepped for some kind of parameters.
So, what do you think? Those lists could of course later be submitted to some open proxy RBL.

I’ve got something like this that I’ve set up for my Movable Type blogs.
I use MT Blacklist to help me in gathering zombie and proxy IPs. I then use a script to pull the offending IPs from the MT Blacklist logs and put them into a BIND zone file which goes into the DNSBL I’ve set up for myself.
I’ve been using this for several months now, and while it doesnt prevent new spam, it does a tremendous job at keeping spam attempts off my SQL box.
So far, in the first 3 days of this month, I’ve blocked 15000 spam attempts to the blogs I host for my family.
Here’s an entry I made about it: http://www.naebunny.net/~derwood/archives/2005/01/wow_its_been_a.html
I currently have a blacklist with over 4000 IPs in it that I’ve culled from the MT Blaclist logs.
