is rumored to have said:

        Spamhaus makes the DROP data available (which I believe is also
included in their SBL), which is useful for using firewalls to just
block or ignore connections from the worst offenders:

                DROP Advisory Null List :: The Spamhaus Don't Route Or Peer 
Lists
                https://www.spamhaus.org/drop/

        UCE Protect also has level 3 listings for the worst offenders,
although I don't recall the list being downloadable for firewall use:

                UCEPROTECT Blacklist Policy LEVEL 3
                https://www.uceprotect.net/en/index.php?m=3&s=5

It is important to understand that theses are RADICALLY DIFFERENT DATASETS.

Spamhaus DROP is a fairly small list of address blocks (supplemented by the even smaller EDROP) that one can expect NO friendly traffic from. NO ONE should see any collateral damage from using DROP.

UCEPROTECT L3 is an intentional collateral damage list. If one COULD use it as a router blocking list, one would not perceive the Internet to be functional.
