Uh, no.

I would rather have the list and cut off the domain, than have our
entire DNS infrastructure blacklisted automatically.

I bet most of the spammers are using the Registrars DNS infrastructure.
Better to deal with it on a domain level and quickly.

Sounds like a great service Rick

We'll take a copy Rick.

Is it possible to break it down by nameserver as well? THat way you 
could file reports to dnsbl for the major DNS suppliers similar to the 
malware domain reports we get.
