That's not exactly how it works - What we do is that our robots will look at some of the messages that hit our spamtraps and if they find a URI that looks like a good choice they will cross check it with SURBL. More often than not we've already got the URI coded from our manual work, but this robotic mechanism allows the rulebase to keep up minute by minute - and since the email triggering this work has come in through one of our spamtraps, it acts like an extra check - so those listings that we do have tend to be very solid. At some point we may bolt on some additional real-time lookups like SURBL etc... but we don't have plans for that just yet, and most installations already have these tools employed in other mechanisms they are running, so it would be redundant for us to add it - at least at this point.
