== Definition == The '''Mail Abuse Prevention System''' ('''MAPS''') is an organisation that provides [[anti-spam]] support by maintaining [[blacklist]]s. == Overview == They provide five [[blacklist]]s, categorising why an [[IP address]] or an [[IP block]] is listed: * [[Real-Time Blackhole List]] ([[RBL]]), the one for which MAPS is probably best known. * [[Dialup Users List]] ([[DUL]]), blocks of [[IP address]]es that include many small office and home office users. * [[Relay Spam Stopper]] ([[RSS]]), [[spam]] relays, e.g. hijacked [[server]]s. * [[Open Proxy Server]]s ([[OPS]]), naively open [[SMTP]] [[server]]s. * [[Non-confirming Mailing List]] ([[NML]]), marketers who use [[opt-out]] strategy. The acronym MAPS is [[spam]] spelled backwards. {{Wikipedia|Mail Abuse Prevention System}} [[Category:Spam]] [[Category:E-mail]] [[Category:Definition]]
