Ask HN: Is there a council that handles spam domains and gets them deleted?

4 pointsby mnafeesabout 7 years ago
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?

Nope, unfortunately there isn&#x27;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).<p>Some registrars have implemented this kind of &quot;abuse reporting&quot; procedure, but obviously they have authority only on domains issued by them.

there are IP blacklists... that&#x27;s about it. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.spamhaus.org" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.spamhaus.org</a> is an example of such a blacklist service.
