Marc,
In case you have been reading only selectively, several folks have responded
with rather less-than impressive results in first-round tests.
The early indicators are that best-case, your lists duplicate well-known acl
tests or other established and trusted RBL.
Worst case, they return irrelevant data, or support actions not beneficial.
JMNSHO, but I see that as a conceptual or 'scoring' issue, not a lack of
sufficient data.
Missing a white/yellow/black entry is 'invisible' to some parts of a testing phase.
Serving up entries that do not add value - or worse- increase falsing, won't be
alleviated by more entries.
It is better *accuracy* and a reduction in duplication of other RBL in the
entries you DO have that is needed.
Otherwise, one would be ahead to concatenate several of the present top-scoring
RBL's and be done with it.
