Because people didn't respond doesn't mean anything. All RBLs produce false-positives. How could they not, they are run by humans. > I think your advice is well founded, however it is a > generalization and exceptions may apply. There are no exceptions when it comes to anything run by humans, there WILL be errors.

Again, this is just from yesterday. Instead of applying a huge weight to a single test, why not apply a small weight to may tests? That way you at least get corroboration from multiple tests, thus negating the human factor.
