Comment on Understanding the recent DDoS attack against Read the Docsparent

www.uceprotect.net does that for email. It's a DNS blacklist that puts hole networks on it, even if "only" a individual hosts SPAMs.

It's a double-edged sword. That is how you end up with most ISPs blocking port 25 completely. If your hosting provider is on the list you are collateral damage. You yourself can do very little to remedy the situation except to beg your provider "to look into it".

What do you expect the ISPs to do in this story? We are talking about TSL connections. Block port 80 and 443 and expect the costumers to use your HTTPS-Proxy. Than they could inspect and block individual actions.
