Sure - do you? If it's left in the core code because the URI never
listed CC in the past that makes it legacy to me. If we consider that
argument now that cc *is* listed by urbl then the legacy argument that
was used, is gone. It becomes an SA issue for effectively white listing
*from urbl lookups* a known rotten/black listed uri.

Depends. If you are sitting at 4.79 and the have a block score of 5.00
it makes a difference.

Jonas I always thought you were grown up enough to be able to fill in
the blanks here. White listed from URI lookups. Please, don't be silly
now.

It's about using every possible piece of evidence available to block
spam. Not to 'grease the wheels' and let it through. Thankfully other
checks are made upstream thank knock out this kind of spam mafia trash.
