There's no undefined pointer, because there's no pointer.
Yes, "what RBLs are suported" is a natural follow-on question, and one that wasn't answered, but the old entry wasn't trying to answer that. Your original complaint was the wiki implied that SA used ALL free BLs. That's not what the original wiki was meant to say. Pure, simple. It was merely telling users that various unspecified free RBLs are on by default, and you don't have to do anything to turn them on. Nothing more. > > That's why I added the list. I agree, it's good to have the list. It fleshes things out. That said, it's probably also good to say something like this at the top: "All the free BL services listed below are enabled by default. MAPS, is disabled by default as it is not free for all situations.". Which is why I suggested re-integrating the statement. I don't think your additions are bad, but I think you also removed valuable content that was in the original. It's important to say that you don't have to do anything special to turn these on, they're on by default. The modified entry merely states that support for all these RBLs is built-in, but it leaves the question of 'how do I turn it on?' unanswered, something the original entry did answer. > > It really should be expanded to indicate any BLs which were added or > dropped in various versions, and probably spell out the explicit names > that people should enable or disable. Then it would be Good > Documentation :-) > I'd agree that would be good to add.. AFAIK there's only one BL that's ever been dropped from SA for any reason other than the RBL shut down operations. That's Spews. Spews sucks as a spam-detection method. All the others that I know of that got dropped were dropped after the RBL shut down. That said, I could be wrong.
