Missed the original post (too much about FC3 install/config issues here
these days...) but I remember we discussed recently (initiated by Thomas
Zehetbauer's anger regarding such list) that it might not be a good idea
to use such lists for a "hard reject". These lists are an indication,
not the ultimate source of good/evil (whereas individuals might argue
about the specific entry of hostmaster.org [big grin, sorry Thomas]). 

Better use these lists with a rating system like spamassassin.
