Jules,
EmailBL is an experimental list which is being run till July 1, as a 
proof of concept and in its current form will be discontinued.

The data is not from the same feed.

atm, there's no need to invest time in this for MailScanner as nobody 
knows if it will be continued under another name, who will mirror it, 
etc, etc
