The wormlist serves more as an page for the local providers to see which
customers are infected by a worm/virus. Each provider can then warn his customer
and also close the customers account if nothing happens.
But the spamlist can be used as blacklist of course. It lists spamsenders from
all over the world - mostly USA.
