Okay I've sleepily written a Ruby wrapper around the initial list you sent me, Ruby folks can get the code here:

TODO: would obviously be to move to a dynamic list at some point. Also, each domain is stored as ascii text, so it would probably make sense to hash them, etc.

Tasks for another day... :)

It almost needs to be a private service API.

edit: for simplicity sake, maybe HN users with 100+ karma ;) see a top level "Spammers" link to a nightly text file?

Now, I think the 'out of date' idiom is out of date. . .BTW, what's up with submission filter or how did saveie6.com end up in the index 3 times?

   google 'site:ycombinator.com (saveie6.com) AND (intitle:ie6 OR intitle:saveie6)'
