Whitelisting has only been turned on for three days on a very low traffic site. So I can't say much about performance. Good that you mention the Penalty White Box. That has been on for as long as I can remember. No negative effects, so I suppose it works.
About the RWL: It agree that it is a waste of network resources and should only be used as a last resort method. Some checks are pretty obvious and accurate and it is a waste of resources to verify these against an RWL. But then again there are checks that are very efficient at catching spam but that can also block small amounts of legitimate E-Mail. It would be nice to have ASSP check these rejects against a couple of good RWL. The logic could look somehow like this: - set aside certain strict RBL, Regex, Helo or PTR rules for a second opinion by RWL; I don't know how that could be done in software, but an option would perhaps be a special comment tag affixed to these criteria in the lists - send these specially tagged rejects to an RWL before final rejection Swinog maintain a good manual whitelist: http://antispam.imp.ch/swinog-dnsrbl-whitelist For those concerned about performance this list could perhaps be copied into a local whitelist.
