SNDS, what it does and why, where it's going, and solicitation of participant feedback. I am a Development Manager for Microsoft at Hotmail in Silicon Valley. One of the things my team does is design and build the mail and anti-spam systems for Hotmail. We did a project almost year ago now called Smart Network Data Services (http://postmaster.msn.com/snds) which gives anyone who can prove they own a given IP range the data that we produce as part of our mail delivery and anti-spam operations. My personal motivation for building this system was to provide ISPs a free tool which can be used to detect, measure, and hopefully resolve abuse problems within their network. We're now working on some major revisions to the system, which I think will make it a lot more useful and effective to this community.
