I hit the wall not long ago myself. (SIMS 1.8b8 mostly web admin)This is
what caused me to finally use RBL lists.
I cleaned up my local list a bit but in checking just now I see I have 814
lines, mostly ranges, some quite large.

This points up an issue mentioned a couple months back. I don't remember
now if it was Bill Cole or Steve Linford, I dont' remember if it was here
or on NANAE. But it concerned the likelyhood of local lists ever releasing
reformed IPs, closed relays/proxys, etc. It's not gonna happen. The chance
that I'll ever go thru that list of 800+lines and retire qualified
candidates is zilch.
The argument that a well run, publicly available blacklist(s) is preferable
to this system is compelling.
