Yes, to a certain degree it will overlap with CBL (one of the lists
aggregated into XBL). XBL's description says it detects open relays and
open proxies. My thinking is to try to detect the zombies that are closed
except to their master (or those renting capacity from the controller).
Most of them will eventually end up on RBLs once they start sending spam,
but why wait until then if they propagate the infection first?
