Was the whitelist you were referring to really the SURBL server-side
whitelist?
Yes! But local SURBL whitelists are needed to reduce traffic and time.
I'd much rather see SURBL respond with 127.0.0.0 with a really large TTL for white listed domains. Any sensible setup will run a local DNS cache which will take care of the load and time issue.
I agree, and have suggested a whitelist SURBL several times on the SURBL discussion list, but it has always fallen on deaf ears - nary a response. It would be nice if someone would at least respond as to why this is not a reasonable suggestion.
