In this particular case (Swen), the usefulness of DNSBLs seems quite
limited, since it appears that this virus knows how to propagate itself
through the infected user's ISP mailserver, rather than initiating a
direct connection from the infected host to the MX of the victim (which
would typically be blocked by a dial-up DNSBL).

Cheers,
