Dear dr_strych9: please supplement my arguments against real-time blackhole lists with this delightful story about a blackhole list that came back to life fifteen months after its death and caused all its subscribers' incoming mail to bounce.

I was getting all het up about you calling Spamhaus well-run until i realized that i was thinking about SpamCop.

Believe it or not, Spamcop largely got unfucked a couple years back, when it stopped being run by Julian and started being run by Ironport. I too used to enjoy the whuppin-on-Spamcop, but after Petersen took over, holy crap, they fixed it. AFI has statistics (http://www.dnsbl.com/2007/05/spamcop-bl-another-look-its-accurate.html).
