it seems to me that they do list based on reporting (automated or "any silly user click here to report spam" button). they once listed my old-chool forwarder, which does forward spam because it forwards every mail for those who activate the forwarding (and even if they run a good SA setup, I want to check my messages on my own SA). the IP was delisted after it was added to DNSWL, but the event was enough for me not to use BRBL at smtp time. That said, I use it in SA with a high score (actually more than 5. but I do check my junk folder...). I also use it at smtp time for some sender patterns. In either case, it catches many snowshoe spammers (I also have a local DNSBL, but I prefer to avoid maintenance work as much as possible). to summarize: BRBL is good, but it's still a new list... > [snip]
