It found the two that were from open proxies, but not the other two. These two sources were also black listed by relays.osirus.com. I suppose that this service will cut out some spam from the more clueless spam pirates, but it is far from a solution. I don't understand why this site claims to be more of a community effort than spews or relays.osirus.com, et al.
