RBL listings are entered manually, after live people review them, which takes
a long time.  RRSS runs automatically so listings are entered in real time.

RRSS is a list of spam relays.  It doesn't try to be a list of spammers.  If
spam comes from a system that's not a relay, it might be an evil spam
factory, or it might be a legitimate ISP who happens to have a hit-and-run
spammer.  No automated system can distinguish those.
