Hi Scott:

>> The IPs that we list are those that were sending viruses 
in the past; therefore, they will likely be sending spam in the future. <<

I wonder, whether most "corporate" PCs (with identifiable, fix IP addresses)
are more likely to be protected behind firewalls or mail servers with virus
scanners - while "consumer" workstations (with always-changing
dynamic/dial-up dsl/cable) ip addresses are more likely to be clueless and
thus more likely to be infected.

So - if some dial-up/dynamic PC gets infected, that IP address will likely
be assigned to someone else who happens to connect tomorrow?  Is your test
eliminating any "dial-up/dynamic" IPs, since by definition the infected/spam
workstation will change IPs?

How do you account for businesses using Internet gateways, firewalls, NAT
routers etc where one IP address could feasible represent a large number of
different workstations?

I have some concerns, how reliable such a test possibly can be, if it
doesn't have an aggressive "automatic de-listing" policy (similar to
Spamcop's).
