Thanks.  I'm not sure if the product I uses ie ProofPoint could
do API integration to the list esp :
  http://mxtoolbox.com/blacklists.aspx

In one forum that I join, E Exchange, I was told that usually these
providers (esp antivirus vendors) will not release their blacklists
because doing so will compromise their security: the spammers
etc knows they are blacklisted and will start shift to use other
IP or even attempt to get off the blacklists.

I was contemplating entering IP address one by one (one provider
ie threatstop.com allows entering a batch of IP in one go) but it
surely is a horrendous amount of work.

In the past, I've used a couple of leading AV vendors blacklist
site but they proved to be deficient compared to mxtoolbox or
threatstop which have much bigger number of IP in their blacklists.
Rather surprised that commercial vendors lists lose out to those
two offered to the public
