I like that idea as a second choice. If the list is only updated when there is a new release of SpamAssassin then it will not grow too rapidly. It would be quite a few years to get to a table of a thousand entries. There would be a minor problem with a whitelisted domain expiring and getting snapped up by a spammer. That could be taken care of by the SURBL people checking if a domain that is being added to the SURBL is on the whitelist and informing the SA team so it can be removed. But it is only my second choice, if there is no way for SURBL to monitor domains in email independent of the SA queries. I like the idea of them getting feeds from ISPs like the one sonic.net offered. That way they can maintain a current list of most common domains in ham mail independent of the SpamAssassin release cycle. SpamAssassin could download the list more or less often depending on how volatile the list is. My guess is that monthly is fine, as that is much better than once per SA release cycle.
