Yes, certainly, and I guess it was a loaded question of me to ask, because it was almost too obvious that I thought I was missing something. I don't think it's _completely_ useless though, because the two leaders are for the most part reputable and don't just block ANY IP. Raymond, I remember your name from reading at surbl.org (actually, you must go to www.surbl.org, heh). Is this the list you recommend? I somewhat agree with the comment about barracuda being accountable, but mxtools is apparently running the business side of things at SURBL, and for large systems you need to pay, so I would assume they want you to come back to renew. I'm sure searching could probably eventually find something, but does anyone know or have links that show the surbl and barracuda motivation behind their service? Of course it is to block spam, but what does barracuda expect to gain by making it free, for example, where surbl charges for theirs? They simply hope people will contribute back to it to make it better for their appliance customers? An occasional FP is almost equally as subjective as anything else, and a difficult metric in which to place any comparison value. Would a more detailed and thorough comparison be any use? IOW, number of changes per day, how many total entries, etc, or is everyone okay with how it is currently? Thanks, Alex
