The decision to whitelist is often difficult and usually requires at least some research. Fortunately some of our research tools like GetURI and others help quite a bit,
Speaking of which, I've worked hard to convince GetURI (new version pending release!) to follow the SURBL inclusion criteria pretty closely; I've added SBL lookups on the forward IP(s) and nameservers, as well as IADB2 and WADB checks on the IP(s), although the IADB2/WADB checks rarely hit. The SBL lookups are extremely useful. And, of course, GetURI has had the --age option for a while now.
Here's what the output looks like now (this took 57s for ~900 messages, even with the great number of DNS queries needed to process the 116 domains not found in SURBL):

Feedback welcome!
OK It might help to have a legend, especially for people not familiar with the output. I assume the domains in white are the grey (uncertain) ones, and the ones in grey are the whitelisted ones. (A little ironic, eh?)
