It's definitely worth repeating: Anyone using SA 3 with network tests enabled, Net::DNS installed and URIDNSBL rules active (which they are by default in 3.0.0) should stop using BigEvil. The static domains in BigEvil are now in the SURBL list ws.surbl.org which is enabled by default in SA 3.0.0 along with all other current SURBLs, so all you will really gain by using BigEvil is really big memory usage. WS will do essentially the same thing as BigEvil, but much more efficiently. Stop using BigEvil if you're using SA 3 with network tests.
