Good point. I hadn't considered the transient nature of blacklists.
Having said that, it seems to me that the content of spam also changes over time, yet the GA seems to cope with that. Perhaps it's just a matter of degree.... If the content spam is consistent _enough_ to permit GA scoring, the consistent portion of blacklists may permit GA scoring too. I agree that it wouldn't be idea, but possibly an improvement over how it works now.
