Here's a little more history about the processing Prolocation and Joe Wein are doing. Raymond is running copies of Joe's engine on three servers at his site. Each server being fed about 100k likely spams per day from multiple spamtraps and the abuse department of the ISP Raymond works at. This has created a very large increase in the amount of data that Joe sees in addition to his own systems and traps.
Prolocation's JW-processed messages are also fed into Joe's systems so that there is a consistent record as "evidence" of the spams. But the extracted URI data of both Joe and Raymond are combined at Prolocation before they get fed into WS. It's that combined data, all processed with Joe's engine (but at two different locations, Joe's and Raymond's) that we are thinking about breaking out into its own list (at least within multi).
I was unaware of the scale of things on Raymond's side, and they are significant upgrade to the capabilities of Joe's systems, in terms of spam volume, servers, people, etc.
The Prolocation and Joe Wein collaboration is also consistent since the same engine and standards are being applied to some large, independent sources of spam.
All of this leads me to think that the Prolocation and JW data are really a major operation of their own and deserve to have their own list.
By the way I'm proposing to call the list JP instead of PJ, since PJ is too similar to PH. The difference should result in less confusion.
