Well, I believe these are for email SPAM only, and are lacking functionality. I'm talking about a combination of several things.
Bot infected machines is also becoming a serious issue, i.e. we see attacks coming from more than 20 machines with the same requests, but these people themselves do not orchestrate the request, they use machines with security holes in it, put a BOT on it and start their attack. Obviously those people are not the culprit, but in the end they have not succeeded in securing their machines, and become a problem for the rest of us. Also, those lists record the IP and just block the traffic, but what about doing something more? I.e. getting to the root of the problem?
