>>The benefit of using a blacklist like monkeys or ordb is that there is
only one removal process for all the mail servers. The issue is that
when the webserver is dDOS'd, it is very hard for people to get removed.<<


There shouldn't be a need for any removal process. A server should be listed
for as long as the spam continues to come from it. Once the spam stops the
blacklisting should stop as well. That is how a dynamic list SHOULD work.
