What is EDROP?
Extended Don’t Route Or Peer (EDROP) is an extended version of the DROP list.
- EDROP includes netblocks controlled by professional spamming operations and cyber criminals, that are not directly allocated.
- Direct allocations will only be listed in DROP.
- EDROP only includes netblocks that are sub-allocations.
Spamhaus strongly recommends the use of EDROP by Tier-1 and backbone networks. Consulting the DROP list webpage when someone asks you to route some suspicious IPs can help avoid taking on customers that will cause big problems on your network.
