The statement by Ben Browning: "I know several businesses who have, and a great many people who have blocked UUNet space from sending them email ... by using ... the SBL" is false, the SBL has never blocked UUNet/MCI IP space that wasn't directly in the control of spammers. If Mr Browning does indeed know "several businesses and a great many people" whose UUNet/MCI IP space has been blocked by the SBL, then Mr Browning knows several spam outfits and a great many spammers.
Let me rephrase: I know several businesses and a great many people who
block *parts* of UUNet by the SBL and *larger* parts of it by means of SPEWS, blackholes.us, et al.
Regardless, the SBL does block *some* UUNet space, much of which(according to responses here) no longer belongs to the spammers.
Sorry for any confusion my poor choice of words may have caused.
