For generating ws.surbl.org, that's perfect, and I've re-enabled
my getting of sa-blacklist.current.domains from your server.

When Chris can get the 6dos data disabled, and you link back to
an un-6dosed but otherwise current version, I think we will be
fully functional again in terms of the ws.surbl.org generation
process.  I suppose you could rename the 6dos blacklist to
disable it also.

I was mainly referring to the folks using sa-blacklist as a cf
file, which one of the versions apparently did get several times
larger than before, presumably due to the inclusion of the 6dos
data.
