I don't think the similarity is surprising at all. I have piggy backed
my usage on the knowledge of others and haven't made a ton of effort to
discern the various rbl's myself.

I think dul.dnsbl.sorbs.net is about blocking dial-up smtp senders -
it's aggressive to be sure.

I also was under the impression that spamcop.net was better for SA
scoring than SMTP blocking
