Re: [SURBL-Discuss] RFC: Adding malwaredomains.com data to phishinglist?

Quoting "Phil (Medway Hosting)" phil@medwayhosting.com:

Seems to me that if the SOURCE of the data is reliable and correct (in that the site DOES contain [malware]), but the domain is whitelisted somewhere, then it's a good reason to remove the whitelisting. Not to remove the listing from the [malware] list.

We use our whitelist internally to exclude domains from blacklisting. If a site is whitelisted, it is generally assumed to be a responsible operation that would actively correct compromised sites, remove malware content, phishing sites, spammed sites, etc. Therefore the logic of un-doing the whitelisting if malware appears would be arguably incorrect. The ones who are whitelisted are the ones likely to do the right thing.
