Ask HN: Is there a council that handles spam domains and gets them deleted?
I was wondering if there is a council that acts on user-reported spam emails and contacts the domain owner and then the domain provider for further strict action, might even be the complete deletion of the domain. If not, why is no-one forming such an organisation?
- f2n 9y agothere are IP blacklists... that's about it. https://www.spamhaus.org https://www.spamhaus.org is an example of such a blacklist service.
- lpezzolla 9y agoNope, unfortunately there isn't. It is not an obvious problem to address, as there is no unique authority over top-level domains (apart from their initial assignment from IANA). Some registrars have implemented this kind of "abuse reporting" procedure, but obviously they have authority only on domains issued by them.
