Well after the minor tweaks to this, updates won't happen for about 5-15
days each. So that would be overkill. This is to give me time to generate a
fresh SPAM corpus to pull URIs from. Also allows me to do some actual work
here at the office :)

I would love that! But that is basically a URI RBL. Hence has all the
trouble of hosting an RBL.

I've had a few people ask how they can contribute to this list. The best way
is to give me a simple list of evil spamhost domains in a text file. 1 per
line. Maybe weekly? I could add it to my own, and update. I can make
available my simple script that strips the URIs out of a corpus if needed. 

The only trouble I see with that, is I don't have copies of the spam should
someone have a problem with claiming an FP. 

I have to see about mirrors. The SARE (SpamAssassin Rule Emporium) will be
moving to a bigger and better place. So I'll have to talk to the 'inner
circle' :) 

I don't have enough bandwidth to take my server down :(   (Yes Phil, I have
Bandwidth envy!)

There was a minor update this morning. 2 FPs (One ebay related and one I
thought I removed already) and some silly spaces removed by a list member.
(Don't know if he wants his name known, credit will be given if he doesn't
mind. Many thanks to him.)

Well those are my random morning thoughts! Oh yeah, did everyone in Atlanta
see the sports scores this morning? Go Bruins! ;)
