Nothing in the FAQ indicates that any particular result is specifically for SPEWS. It lists 127.0.0.4 as "Confirmed Spam Sources". Does that mean SPEWS and ONLY SPEWS? If so, it's easy enough to leave 127.0.0.4 out of my blacklist, but if that would render my other RBL entries impotent, then I need to leave 127.0.0.4 in and specifically query: Inputs.relays.OsiruSoft.com Dialups.relays.OsiruSoft.com Spamsites.relays.OsiruSoft.com Spamhaus.relays.OsiruSoft.com spamsources.relays.osirusoft.com rather than relays.OsiruSoft.com.
