You are one up on the CBL, then, who have had some false positives that I personally know of; nice to see you are entirely, 100% free of error. And also nice to see you bucking conventional wisdom from DNSBL operators on what constitutes a dead domain. I¹m with you. Fly in the face of experience, strike out in wildly new directions. ;-) Ok seriously, why take a chance? There tends to be coherence between the OED and American Heritage in terms of definitions. Why try to start a new one for dead domain? -- Neil Schwartzman Director, Accreditation Security & Standards Certified | Safelist Return Path Inc. 0142002038
