I'd probably lean towards a separate list if we set one up, since the data are of a different source type (web logs vs mail) and use. It would be a convenience for blog maintainers. It might be interesting to see how a blog spam list would do against mail spam, but judging by the lack of overlap, I would predict it not too relevant against mail. Given the lack of commonality, it may not make much sense to add to the mail spam lists, since it would be an extra 2000+ records that would probably not get hits on mail. The MT-Blacklist doesn't seem to update too frequently (the last new record was from 8/29) and has about 2000 records. Matthew's list was pretty sparse so far. So I'm still pondering things. Comments welcome! Jeff C.
