I'd be very interested in the results of such a comparison... A major feature, imho, is the text returned in the DNS answer (is this a HINFO or what is used?). rfc-ignorant and wirehub don't say anything specific. dsbl, spamhaus and ordb give an URL with exact reasons for the listing. dnsrbl is somewhere in between, giving the date of the listing and a short explanation. > > If we're discussing uce measures: > > > > I've accumulated a few spamtrap accounts (former usenet or web mail > > addresses).
