Blacklist aims to reduce massive spamming levels.
Chinese web organisation the Internet Society of China (ISC) has announced the setting up of a central anti-spam blacklist, to allow service providers and filtering software to block known senders of spam.
The list already contains 100,000 known-bad IP addresses, mostly gathered via reports from members of the public, while a corresponding whitelist supports legitimate mail servers and ISPs.
A hard core of 906 major sources of spam has been made public, with their owners given a month to take action to reduce the flood of junk mail coming from their machines.
More details can be found at official Chinese news agency Xinhua, here.
