What kept them from being reported in a timely fashion, so that they
would have been contributing to the SCbl in a useful way to help defend
those people who use the SCbl to filter or tag their mail with the list?

Reporting old spamsources isn't very useful compared to reporting fresh
ones.

The notifies for 193.13.73.216  rDNS  stat.infanterit.se  at

inetnum:      193.13.72.0 - 193.13.74.255
netname:      SE-GRIFFEL-NET1

are abuse at griffel.se  or  abuse at swip.net

The tech at griffel is jonas at griffel.se

Griffel doesn't have a reg'd abuse.net addy, nor does infanterit.  The
IP isn't listed on any blocklists, so presumably they should be
responsive.

As a housekeeping issue, .spam is only for posting raw spams, which
really isn't necessary because you couldn't posted a tracker into a
normal discussion group like spamcop or .help, which is a better way of
displaying a spam.

I'm crossposting this to .help, in case the discussion needs to go on,
and making f/ups to there.
