The Anonymous Postmaster Early Warning System (APEWS) is an anonymous service that maintains a list of IP address ranges (L2 list) and domain names (L1 list) belonging to internet service providers (ISPs) that host spammers and fail to prevent their abuse of other networks' resources.

According to the only public forum communication ever released by APEWS, the service was founded by people who observed that the Spam Prevention Early Warning System (SPEWS) was inactive, no longer maintained, and possibly dead. Unlike SPEWS, APEWS operates two blacklists: a Right-Hand Side Blacklist (RHSBL) that lists domains as well as a Domain Name System Blacklist (DNSBL) that lists IP address ranges.[1]
