Dan, you have a very valid idea and it works, but it will only work for
the short temp. Static blocking of phishing sites doesn't work too well
in the long run - but works well for the time the site is up. You put
this one address into your block list to protect your users but what
about the 10 other address you haven't put in there? 

Trying to run a manually updated content/security filtering system will
crazy you insane in no time. Believe me ;)
