Forgot to mention, yes, I'd be happy to add the few lines it would take to make this an API, even if it's just in lib/Qpsmtpd. It might be nice for us to get datafeeds with other services (we're looking to at least get one from DBL, possibly SURBL and imvURI) before publishing to CPAN, mainly so that we know for sure that we have not over-pruned the first level or SURBL second & third level lists. As they are though, I consider the lists good enough to warrant production use of this method over the current method in the existing QP uribl plugin. After all any TLD that manages to make it onto other services but has garnered *zero* hits on URIBL, probably has very very few entries on those other services. Anyway, if it's a bit of a licensing/copyright problem to use the data from URIBL, it'll be more of one to use the data from other services as well, but we can probably work that question in from the get-go -Jared
