Who is eligible for an ISP PBL Account?
ISPs may claim all of their full and entire allocated IP range(s) within a single PBL account and then make additions and removals of any size CIDR blocks of IP addresses within those allocated IP range(s). Instructions on how to create a PBL Account are below.
Criteria the ISP must meet in order to be eligible for a PBL Account:
- Have at least one IPv4 /24 or IPv6 /48 allocation identifiable by IP-Whois, rWhois or rDNS;
- Network records for that allocation must contain and clearly identify their Primary Domain;
- Must have a working “abuse@yourprimarydomain” e-mail for that Primary Domain;
- Email addresses used to fill in the “Your Work Email” and “Role Contact Email Address” fields in the PBL Account application should also use the Primary Domain of the PBL Account application, or a domain we can easily identify as being related to the ISP making the request.
We do not assign “sub-nets.” If “Example Company A” gets its IPs from “Bigger Network B”, and its PBL Account claims their full IP ranges including the parts which they delegate to Example Company, then we can’t assign those delegated ranges to “Example Company A’s” PBL Account. Note: This is not usually an issue, but it can happen.
Please ensure that the difference between “Master Ranges” and “PBL Zone Listings” is fully understood before entering IP ranges in a PBL account.
