The truth is that many blocklists are not ethical, honest or even functional as they white list Spammers like Twitter simply because their users want emails from this multinational Spammer and not because they function as a 'list of spammers' So, many RBL / DNSBL are broken as they do not list or treat all spammers equally, but make 'exceptions' for 'special' spammers... Anyway, as we are all powerless and many of us (like you) think it is " obscure and kooky" to actually list spammers... what is your better questions? Andre
