DNSWL
DNSWL (DNS-based whitelist) is both a generic term and a specific list. The specific list DNSWL.org, lists over 50,000 legitimate SMTP senders[1].
Generic need for whitelisting
Natural language understanding is not a mature field. Common computer processes used for spam filtering apply heuristics to avoid presenting too many useless messages to email recipients. This has the severe impact of reducing SMTP reliability[2] by creating false positives, i.e. silently dropping legitimate messages. Whitelists tackle the task of vouching for a sender, which implies identifying an accountable party that the sender belongs to.
DNSWL.org
DNSWL.org has been founded on 1st November 2006 by Matthias Leisi[3]. Legitimate senders can register for free. Most DNS servers are sponsored by various organizations worldwide[4].
DNSWL.org lists IP addresses, but also hold domain names, category, and email contact addresses. Each IP address is given a "trustworthiness" level; applications, e.g. SpamAssassin, typically decrease the "spamminess" score of a message by a value proportional to that level.
