The default is maintained by the Pyzor team as well, I assume. The hostname 'public.pyzor.org' currently points to a host with an RDNS 'server36.seinternal.com.', which could be some internal host owned by SpamExperts (who also maintains the pyzor codebase). You don't know the status of that infrastructure either. So I'd be careful when using the public servers too. That's always true for public gratis services, but maybe take some extra caution as the project seems less alive. Tom
