Am I missing something? Please take a look at
http://www.stearns.org/sa-blacklist.current.domains - 23,752 domains, just
before Chris started adding 6dos. I relinked the last good one when I
brought the server back up.
If you're using my list, what version are you using? 200406281446
should be a safe one to use.
Cheers,
- Bill
