Out of 2200 domains in the list around 800 are 'new' ones, but it seems they are either dead or old :) (read, not used in spam anymore?)
This released list has been developed from actual spam recieved since the SURBL effort started. I don't doubt there are a lot of double ups with ws.surbl.org however.
As a seperate list i would so far say, uhm, not really worth the efford, as a extra list of domains for WS, i think its worth it.
Sure - kinda what I was originally intending anyway :)
Out of 12.000 ones hit by WS i had 2 hits that were only seen by the MS list. I dont think that would be enough. Where is the date taken from? Actual recent spam mails? If so, sounds like a little outdated list ?
The list is developed from messages which slip through existing SURBL's and other custom SA rulesets - addmittedly less and less are getting through, but we do keep on top of it. It is current, but may also be a different sampling of messages to those you see.
Expiry of listings is something we're still working on, but are a little loathe to do because we've recently noticed a spate of "recycled" domain names.
