 * Web-based blacklists can identify spammer's email addresses and user information beyond a simple IP address, but there is no standard format for the reply from an HTTP blacklist server. For instance, a request for $botscout would return "Y|IP|4" if the address is blacklisted ('N' or blank if OK), while a web request for $stopforumspam would return "ip yes  2009-04-16 23:11:19  41" if the address is blacklisted (the time, date and count can be ignored) or blank if the address is good.
