The domain blocking list SURBL announced today that it is deprecating the SC (Spamcop) and AB (AbuseButler) sublists, migrating their data into a new ABUSE sublist. They note that the WS (Bill Stearns' sa-blacklist) sublist is also going to be migrated into ABUSE in 2016.
SURBL also recently announced the addition of SURBL-specific blocking notification messages to the popular SpamAssassin spam filtering software.

Status of no-more-funn.moensted.dk: DEAD
The "No More Funn" blocking list (DNSBL zone no-more-funn.moensted.dk) was run by a gentleman from Denmark using the alias dr. Jørgen Mash. First observed in 2002, listing criteria included spam sources, IP address ranges that appeared dynamic, bulk mailers not required confirmed opt-in (double opt-in) and more. It was easy for email service providers (ESPs) to end up listed there, and ESP clients would often ask about those listings because they would show up in DNSBL lookups, though it's not clear that the list was widely used for spam blocking.
At some point in 2012, the list was taken offline. At the end of 2015, the website reports that the list is still offline. Thus, I'm going to call this one "dead."
