If you don't know their listing policy, what's the rationale in using
their list?
I have designed the fastest BL in the world (now, I didn't patent this
because I think many guys have designed the same or a similar system):
no IPC, no fork, no parsing:
- if the last quad is odd, it's not listed
- if it's even, it's listed
try this and you'll see that it blocks a lot of spam. a lot more than
many DNSBLs. And it contains much more listed IPs than any other list
(even more than all lists!), since it contains 2^31 IPs.
Note that this list includes 127.0.0.2, so it is testable. It doesn't
include 127.0.0.1, so it's "safe":)

ahah. so you have evidence that it fkags legit mail, but you still use
and recommend it???

If this isn't Cargo cult, I wonder how to call it...
