Matt, thanks for this.  It's a great resource.  However, I'm wondering
why the following were scored as zero and thus don't have numbers to

RCVD_IN_BL_SPAMCOP_NET

The MAPS lists are for-pay.. Since not all the developers are paid subscribers, they do not test them. This won't likely change.


Spamcop was historically a "donation required" service, and that status kept it out of the default test set. Spamcop now is merely a "donations accepted" service, so I suspect it will eventually work it's way into the test set.. I think it just boils down that it was in too late for 2.60's testing. Since spamcop has a score, I suspect one of the developers did a quick "mini test" to evolve a score for spamcop right before release.

Policy wise, SORBS_BLOCK doesn't make much sense to use in SA... SORBS_BLOCK isn't a list of spammers, it's a list of admins that have demanded that SORBS not test their networks. I suspect it was included in the code for only completeness since other SORBS checks were being handled.
