Because those addresses are in the XBL, not the SBL. The XBL is
populated by entries from the CBL, which are added when virus-like or
worm-like behavior is detected, and entries are removed at the first
request. Doesn't really make a whole lot of sense to try to create a
static list for it, when the SBL list is only updated twice a day anyway.
Of course, you could just go to www.spamhaus.org and read up on how it
works.

Thanks for the tip Steve,
I've just read up on it......
and it seems to suggest that using sbl+xbl is a good thing.
What exactly is spamd going to catch then ?
spamd will tarpit entries in the SBL, which are (supposed to be) actual
spamming operations. The idea behind spamd is to waste the time and
resources of spam operations, not simply to reject their mail. If you're
only looking to reject mail, then don't use spamd.
