Please also take a look at these blocklist hits (potential FPs) and share what you think:

Would there be many FNs (missed spams) if we whitelisted all of these? In other words are these all truly False Positives? If not, which ones do you feel are true spammers and why.

probably not a new idea, but why not run a "wl.surbl.org" with all the whitelisted domains and ppl can choose to use it or not.

IMHO More traffic and scan time. Better to just ignore having them in the list.

Also things like Yahoo, AOL, ect... will most likely have SA code to not even bother to look those up.
