Same here. I have not publicised or updated my korea.services.net DNSBL for over a decade and it's still getting over 100 qps. On Fri, 26 Mar 2021, Sabri Berisha wrote:

Hi,
Also keep in mind that "most blocklists" is meaningless. Any moron can run a blocklist, and many morons do. The vast majority of blockists are used by close to nobody, and only a handful are widely enough used to matter.
This moron ran a per-country/per-as blocklist in the early 2000s which was based on a DFZ BGP feed. I closed it off more than 10 years ago.
I just checked and I'm still receiving ~5 queries per second.
As per my anecdotal evidence, there are some really clueless operators out there as well. There is, of course, the temptation to just add a wildcard A record... But nah, I don't like hot places.
The other side-effect is that spammers are still very eager to use my domain in their from: headers, judging by the amount of undeliverables I receive (in waves).
That's generally because they pick the To and From addresses in the spam from the same dusty spam lists. Regards, John Levine, johnl@taugh.com, Primary Perpetrator of "The Internet for Dummies", Please consider the environment before reading this e-mail. https://jl.ly
