My FPs fall into two categories: 1) URIs that would likely never appear outside of a specialty newsletter. I've had lots of hits on things like: -Authors of programmer's tools -producers of electronic parts -producers of embedded computer systems (Note: embedded, not normal computers.. companies like versalogic.com that make parts that only a kiosk manufacturer or extreme geek would use) 2) URIs of "mass-remailer" and other mass-hosting services used by nearly everyone, legit, and not so legit. all kinds of newsletters. Particularly ones with links back to enrollment forms hosted on the remailer's servers. URIBL_BLACK is by far the worst about problems in both classes.. In fact, while I was writing this I got a newsletter from Intel about the upcoming IDF. It had a link to a common web-form provider, rttr3 dot com. This hit URIBL_BLACK. Doing a google search, there's no hits for this domain in all the universe of google groups. No NANAS, No NANAE, No nothing. It appears in a legit newsletter but no spam I've ever seen. And yet it's in URIBL's blacklist. (I've already requested a delist) While URIBL_BLACK is the worst offender, it's not the only. I've had problems with pretty much every URIBL out there, and just this past Friday I had to file with OB.
