Hello,
All messages I receive from Debian have a common path once they have
reached Debian, i.e. if tzere are variations they are caused by the
servers used before Debian is reached. The figure is at least partially
correct (XBL matches only a handful of messages that are not grabbed by
SA anyway)[1]

That would not be useful either, because I am not interested in what is
listed in XBL *today* but what was listed when the respective message
was transfered.
