I've noticed that the poker comment spammers have found my blog (which is configured to run in moderation mode). Is there any point in reporting the reports WordPress sends me into the SURBL submission process? The biggest benefit I can see is for anyone who uses SA tied into WP's comment queue - auto spam tagging.
Jeff has always liked to keep a seperation between Blog and Mail spammers. If he doesn't want them, (He might), we will take them at URIBL.com. We figure there is no difference between the two.

Maybe, maybe not. In any event, they should be /listed/ separately, if only so that those using URIBL to check email message bodies and those who might use it to check blog comments can use the lists in appropriate contexts.

We asked folks keeping track of blog spam URIs if those URIs also appeared in email spams. The answers were inconclusive. Some said they did, others said they didn't.
Since there was not a clear answer, we have not added blog spam URIs to SURBLs. We do, however, want to get email spam URIs into SURBLs.
