because having a config option to specifically disable something that another
config option specifically enables is stupid.

:)



The skip list is meant to list domains that appear a lot that aren't spammers. 
These domain aren't spammers -- they may have hosts underneath that may have
spammer sites, but the URIDNSBL system in SA is designed to deal with domains
and not individual hosts.  You can subvert this by doing the util_rb_2tld
thing, but it's important to notice the term "subvert". :)

IMO, trying to talk about ways to get around things is missing the point that
you're using a system in a way it wasn't designed to be used, so
unsurprisingly, things may not work how you want them to.

A few ideas:

a) Perhaps we need to revisit the idea of URIDNSBL querying full hostnames, and
letting the BL provider deal with it.  We could get rid of all the horrible
RegistrarBoundary code, and BL providers can add in wildcards, and everyone's
happy?

b) Make the skip list skip entire matches, as will be queried.  ie:
"google.com" matches "google.com", not "docs.google.com" -- but if we're
querying for "google.com", it would match.  I thought that's what happens now,
but apparently not?
