one wonders how many private blocking lists still have the old aegis
netblocks in them.
i make it a point to date entries in my lists and periodically purge older
entries that don't seem to be active spam sources anymore, but most do not,
i'm afraid.
if the well run BLs are run underground or shutdown, this will ultimately
lead to exactly what jon fears -- an IP space full of random, unusable
"superfund sites".
cheers,
richard
