Let alone the "she" bit (anyone is free to be as s/he wants, not a problem) the real point here is that given SORBS policy, imHo nobody should use that list for blocking; at least not if you are serious about email filtering; then, sure, if you're filtering your home inboxes you're free to do what you want, but when it comes to a larger user base SORBS should NOT be used to block email (if used at all) the ONLY list which can be safely used is "dul.dnsbl.sorbs.net" which helps stopping dynamic/dialup address blocks That said, my current DNSBL setup is zen.spamhaus.org=>1 bl.spamcop.net=>1 ix.dnsbl.manitu.net=>1 combined.njabl.org=>1 dul.dnsbl.sorbs.net=>1 bb.barracudacentral.org=>1 bogons.cymru.com=>1 db.wpbl.info=>2 dnsbl-1.uceprotect.net=>2 psbl.surriel.com=>2 karmasphere.email-sender.dnsbl.karmasphere.com=>3 dnsbl-2.uceprotect.net=>3 blackholes.five-ten-sg.com=>3 dnsbl-3.uceprotect.net=>4 cbl.abuseat.org=>4 and, in my experience, such a setup is working quite well, also since ASSP doesn't just rely on DNSBL for email filtering / rejection ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
