Oh, I was referring to this: "Previous DNSELs scraped Tor's network directory
for exit node IP addresses, but this method fails to list nodes that don't
advertise their exit address in the directory. TorDNSEL actively tests through
these nodes to provide a more accurate list." [1]

Since users have know about servers they route through, any unlisted node would
have a somewhat limited userbase, so I'm not sure if we need to be as concerned
about them for spam. But if we really want to catch them all, we would need to
do a dns lookup for each connecting ip.

Is it possible to confirm that the list is being updated for enwiki, and
billinghurst's problems are not related/current? If that's the case, I think
this ticket can either be closed, or turned into a feature request for making
the extension use the dns method.
