It is interesting to see some of the sites that not only use(d) the MAPS
lists for free, but didn't even bother to do the zone transfer mode
(which reduces the load on the MAPS servers and speeds up your local
use).

If it is true that MAPS being shut off to non-subscribers is what is
causing mail servers at places like yahoo.com to be slow, then it is no
wonder MAPS had to start charging.
