What is up with surbl.org?
How come surbl.org has a "Bad" status at rating.cloudmark.com? (see
below). This is not good.

Another guess would be that rating is using data from razor reports. If
someone reports a SA tagged message to razor without stripping the tags,
the surbl.org domain is going to appear in the message body as a byproduct
of the rule descriptions.

That's really a question for the Cloudmark people. My guess is that
domains that have mailing lists which talk about spam get a bad rating
since people still incorrectly scan those lists through anti-spam
software.
