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. Is that right?
