Matt should speak about this in more detail.....
BH DNS is a reporting service--we only report domains
catagorized elsewhere
as malware.
The "domains.txt" file contains the original URL
reference of where the
domain was catagorized as malware. Usually it's a major
malware reference
site (symantec, trend, webhelper, sunbelt, etc.) or the
Internet Storm
Center.
When a domain is "delisted" at the original
reference, then the domain is
also "delisted" (by commenting it out with a
"#" sign) in the "domains.txt"
file.

I have been worried about what would happen to bhdns if it
someday got
too "visible". It is probably time to consider
moving it to Australia
or the UK. The recent ruling against spamhaus and the
letigious
activism of the "direct email marketing industry"
make it apparent how
vulnerable bhdns is. It will soon be unsafe to operate
bhdns from
inside the US.
If any US-based readers are unaware of the current legal
trends, you
can google for 'spamhaus lawsuit' or 'EMARKETERSAMERICA.ORG'
or 'spews
lawsuit'. It is a trend. Get bhdns out of the US before
they file
against you.
