I am officially proposing a greylist surbl.
We are going to see more and more of this stuff. We might as well deal with it now. I'm suggesting a greylist for all spammers that ride that line. Like the euniverse junk we have been talking about.
I think this is a good idea.
Ditto. But please, for the love of god, don't call it a greylist. Call it what it is - an unconfirmed, FP-risky, anything-goes list.
unconfirmed.surbl.org
Greylisting is a completely different concept, and given how much trouble we've already had dealing with people in the antispam community because we insist on referring to "exclusion" of a domain from SURBL as "whitelisting", perhaps now is the time to get the terminology right.
