My reasoning for Utils vs Reporting was that the module itself doesn't actually generate a report. It contains functions to get a list of email address from IP Whois info, find the ASN announcing an IP, get the abuse.net listed contacts for a domain, etc. Utilities useful for a script generating abuse reports to use. But some functions, like one to check if an IP is on a DNSBL can be used by abuse desk workers like myself to periodically check our IP space and that sort of things. Michael
