RBL
/R?B?L/
Abbreviation: ?Realtime Blackhole List?. A service that allows people to
blacklist sites for emitting spam, and makes the blacklist available in
real time to electronic-mail transport programs that know how to use RBL so
they can filter out mail from those sites. Drastic (and controversial) but
effective. There is an RBL home page.
