You seem to put a lot of emphasis on the memory taken up by these two lists in memory. When I removed them, spamd's memory utilisation went down only 1.9MB (down from 33.5MB to 31.6MB). Now unless you are really strapped for memory, I don't see this as a great advantage.
It's more of a difference with sa-blacklist which is about ten times larger than BigEvil (comparing cf file size, I assume there's some relation to memory usage). Therefore, it's sa-blacklist memory usage that people were complaining more about. I've updated the web site to reflect this. Thanks for the feedback.
What's quicker execution-wise...a regex of the list in memory, or a DNS lookup/eval...I would imagine the later, but does anybody know? The obvious advantage is that one doesn't have to update the cf files manually.
Yes, it should be more convenient. :-)
What's the TTL for entries in this database?
TTL for be.surbl.org is 4 hours.
