And this exposes a serious problem with the current SURBL design. If I can manage to host one legitimate page in one subdomain and have 100 other subdomains that are purely for spam, you can't list me as a spammer.
If that were the case, we'd probably list the domain.
However, it doesn't tend to happen. Professional spammers tend to register their own domain names (and a lot of them). They don't tend to use shared or subdomain hosting sites to host their spam web sites. When was the last time you saw a pill/warez/mortgage spam on geocities or even terra.es?
