Once an I.P. address is in any spamhaus.org list, many of spamcop 
reporters no longer see any spam from them to report.

And if they are a prolific enough spammer, they may have already earned 
a permanent local block before spamhaus.org got around to listing them.

According to one of my postmasters, about 50% of the spam delivery 
attempts is blocked by the local block list.

 From the same statistics, it looks like most spammers realize that 
anything listed in sbl.spamhaus.org is useless for sending e-mail to 
most of the internet.

Some of them also seem to have realized the same thing about I.P. 
addresses in the SORBS DUHL list.
