Do you know offhand if any ISPs have thrown in the towel on Spam Eating Monkey because it's more detrimental, as in sergenet's case, than effective, or is it still universal (if it ever was universal in the first place)?
There are over 100 different domain blacklist services. You can find
a comparison of Blacklist products on Wikipedia.
Most DNS servers use multiple blacklists to screen domains, so getting off of one blacklist does not guarantee the domain will not be blocked by another blacklist used by the same Das server. If you use a paid OpenDNS account you can log into your account and whitelist a specific domain.
So yes blacklists of all varieties, with different objectives but maybe duplicated individual criteria, including Spam eating Monkey are still used pretty universally on all DNS servers. There are DNS servers that are not so picky because they make their money servicing the spammers (think Russia, China, and other notorious regions) but unless you are a serious cyber malefactor, you are extremely unlikely to knowingly use.
