Has anyone played extensively with their PB setup to optimize the settings?
I think that there are probably two choices here- based on the PenaltyUseNetblocks setting to either Penalise the individual address or the whole Class C Network Block. When set to use the whole block, the settings need to be quite high to prevent hair-trigger responses, and I suspect that there may be some fallout as you would be blocking other address that have never sent spam. I am guessing that this method will become less useful as spammers are increasing their use of zombie machines where they would only have one machine per block. When penalising the individual addresses, what settings are people finding useful? I think that the default settings are too tolerant for a small setup. Would future developments to the greylist be based on PB scoring? John Hanna never wanted to discuss how the greylist worked- where did it collect it's info and how did it protect against spoof attacks? It is still useful- if you look at some of the higher scoring addresses on SpamHaus those blocks are still run by spammers. The whole united stand really appeals to me. I just wish that delaying could be made more intelligent so it was front loaded with the likely spamieness of an address until the RBL's catch up.
