WOW! I think this would hit more FPs then listing the IP!
Am I wrong there!
I would never list the name server, as they may be hosting

then just a spammer. That number is sure to be greater
then a virtual hosts
number for an IP. Maybe I'm missing something key?
SBL lists some spammer name server (and web server) IPs. Hopefully they're careful about it, since you're right listing name servers could affect a lot more than just the virtual hosts on a web server IP.
SBL is also *very* manually-driven, and has a high level of certainty required before anything is listed. There's some serious human vetting going on for every IP that gets added, and they (generally) spot the cases where ns1.bigisp.com would be listed, and don't list them ;)

- Sounds familiar...the vetting that is ;)
- HOw the hell do you keep up on your email? I'm convinced JM is actually a
machine of some sort. Possibly an old PDP11 in a university basement someone left on and forgot. It somehow became self aware.
PDP11? thanks very much!
it is a good question though ;)
