I'm sure that actually fetching the content of the site would work to deter people from sending out their URL as spam but it would lead to a new problem. Every machine in the world using SURBL (and let's face it that should be everyone, it works so well) could be used for a DoS attack just by sending an email (OK the domain would need to be in SURBL).
Gee, I guess that would be a /very/ unfortunate side effect of this.. :-) Why are you all looking at me like that? <G>
