Thank you.  The DNSBL link was very useful.

I have checked the three GPF exit nodes and gpfTOR4 and gpfTOR6 are not 
listed by any lists (including AHBL) while gpfTOR2 is only listed by 
barracudacentral.org/rbl.

Incidentally, in http://torstatus.blutmagie.de/ gpfTOR4 is listed as being 
in the Czech Republic while gpfTOR5 and gpfTOR6 are in Netherlands.  Is 
this correct?
