What I was asking about isn't mixing them, just prefiltering the 
bl.spamcop.net canidates aginst the Bonded Sender of IronPort.
That way all you would have to do it one query using a standard RBL lookup 
to get a pre-screened list of known spammers without any false positives of 
people who are listed in the Bonded Sender list.
I would think that pre-filtering the bl.spamcop.net would make for a even 
more trustworthy list and reduce the amount of false positives.
For those purests who like false positives maybe a new zone called 
bl-ip.spamcop.net (or whatever) that is the filtered zone and retain the 
existing bl.spamcop.net.
