I'm pretty sure we will never automatically add anything to WS. We want a human to look at them. However we are working on some things to hopefully automate some submissions [1] to SURBL for quicker response based on certain characteristics of a domain. We've got data galore, and just need to work on using it properly. --Chris [1] Only the most trusted of trusted sources would be able to do this.
