I seldom post here because the couple of times I have followed-up to 
correct wrong statements in nanog regarding Spamhaus, such as the 
above, I have each time been told by nanog's admin that I will be 
removed from the nanog list if I respond to any question in nanog 
regarding Spamhaus again. But, here goes:

The statement by Ben Browning: "I know several businesses who have, 
and a great many people who have blocked UUNet space from sending 
them email ... by using ... the SBL" is false, the SBL has never 
blocked UUNet/MCI IP space that wasn't directly in the control of 
spammers. If Mr Browning does indeed know "several businesses and a 
great many people" whose UUNet/MCI IP space has been blocked by the 
SBL, then Mr Browning knows several spam outfits and a great many 
spammers.
