Although I generally like spamcop (one of the sources for determining 
spamvertised websites) for use with SpamAssassin in scoring, its not the 
most conservative list e.g. 
http://www.spamcop.net/w3m?action=blcheck&ip=198.108.1.41
list Merit as a spam source...) and the accidental listing or potential for 
abuse could be nasty.

What about the case where the spammer gets black listed, traffic starts 
pounding the rouge site and then the spammer changes the A record to be 
www.example.com instead.  Now all of a sudden www.example.com is being 
pounded by all those screen savers.
