[SpamCop-List] Open Proxy SCBL Rules

If spam is reported coming from an open proxy and the address is 
subsequently listed, is there a check to keep the address listed if it 
is still open when the listing times out? If not, can anyone think of a 
reason not to add this qualification?

Also, if spam is submitted that indicates that its source is an open 
proxy, would it make sense that the address should be listed 
immediately, bypassing any rules that require samples from different 
submitters before a listing occurs?

My POP3 service uses the SCBL, so any spam I receive is usually from 
sources not on the SCBL. A large proportion of that spam appears to be 
coming from open proxies, hence the interest. Thanks for your comments!
