    does a listing in DMOZ for a fairly new site have any weight on whether-or-not the site will be sandboxed?

    ...my question is for NEW sites which have been listed.

    Does it effect the filter at all?

    Not sure it helps much at all. I had a site listed in DMOZ June or July of last year and it didn't crawl out of the sandbox until February of this year.

    A link from DMOZ or any other site, even if it's PR 10 (link from a commercial site pointing to you) won't put you in or pull you out of the sandbox. The sandbox penalty applies to sites that are, in order of priority:

    (1) UNKNOWN FACTOR(S)
    (2) Commercial in nature (.com, .net, etc)
    (2) Competive Industry and keywords
    (3) New
