yes, you can find them under http://www.ris.ripe.net/dumps/
Thanks for the info.
What is ripe stance about using the data from dumps (IP to AS mapping) for spam fighting ? e.g. extra spamassassin penalty (or plain blocking) of messages from "bad ASes".
Some people "push" blocking based on "conutry of origin". IMHO blocking based on "AS of origin" does not punish small good standard ISPes for "sins" of the big guys. It makes "AS blocking" much better option than "country blocking".
What you do with your network with regards to filtering is up to you, it is your network, you will not be able to contact certain sites and vice versa. Nevertheless see http://www.cluecentral.net/rbl/ which contains already AS based, country based and a number of other nice mechanisms for your blocking pleasures. Also this question is probably meant for some spam list, try db-wg which comes quite close, not ripe-users ;) Greets, Jeroen
