I'm having a real problem understand the purpose of the Alexa list, when and where it should be used, to do what.
is there a primer or white paper on how/when/where to use the Alexa option?

thank in advance.

The TOP1M whitelist (in devel it also has the Cisco Whitelist), can be used to whitelist the most popular domains in DNSBL. I would only suggest using it for the Phishing Feeds, as those can cause FPs since those feeds post full URLs. Also limit the number of TOP1M Domains to whitelist.
