The SA developers chose an appropriately small exclusion list to hard code as the top 125 most often hit whitelist entries. Those top hits are largely invariant and would represent a large portion of the DNS queries if not excluded. It doesn't make much sense to serve up a small, nearly invariant list with a DNS list, long TTLs or not. Jeff C. -- Jeff Chan mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.surbl.org/
