Hi!
Here's some additional info on some of the recent sa-blacklist/ws.surbl.org/6dos goings on, copied from a message I sent to the SpamAssassin-users list:

Hopefully this makes some sense. If not I'll glady try to answer any questions or comments anyone has, though I'm not the original source of the changes.
We however started SURBL for a reason, also to offload heavy rulesets, why are you still using the .cf format ? I mean, go lookup via DNS and you would bot even have noticed this at all.
Bye, Raymond.
