That's true. But since both listings are a week apart I would expect at
least one of the other RBLs to pick up this server. However, both the
spamtrap hit at apr 28 and the one at may 5 were caused by a Belgian
spammer spamming in Dutch. DSBL has quite a few inputs in the
Netherlands, perhaps the low countries are a white spot on competing
RBL's maps.

But don't worry, the next spamrun will probably cover a wider part of
the globe, and the other RBL's will find out, they always do, just
give them time.
