https://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=5905 has some information on the background; we asked SURBL for their top queried domains that they considered nonspam, and it was in that list. SURBL have always been scrupulous in their operations and listing criteria fwiw. Going by bug 5905 though, and this report, we should probably remove it from the whitelist. > I'm wondering why (other > than MONEY) it would have ended up in there?
