6dos data into ds.surbl.org

[Jeff Chan <je...@surbl.org>]

Chris Santerre asked on the spamassassin-users list whether
ds.surbl.org was being updated with the 6dos data.  The answer is
no, it's static now based on that snapshot Chris gave me a couple
weeks ago.  To be honest, the 6dos data seems too over-inclusive
to me for production use, but perhaps Chris or Rich could help me
figure out something closer to a live feed as we beta test it.

Those numbers look good and reasonable.  The outblaze data
is pretty impressive, especially given that it's all automated.

To be somewhat fair, the 6dos list ds.surbl.org hasn't been
updated in a couple weeks, and many spammer domains probably
don't last that long in active spamming.  It's an interesting
battle between manual and automated lists.  Probably they
catch some different things also.
