SBL/XBL (http://www.spamhaus.org/) tends to work pretty well. From a recent SpamAssassin development run, XBL looks to be much more useful than the SBL, but you can query both at the same time so there's no additional overhead for getting the results of both. "DNSBL" is a generic term for DNS Black Lists, some of which are better than others. They've generically been around for years. Overall, they generally help catching spam. URIBL (URI Black Lists) are the latest version which also help out a lot. -- Theo Van Dinter, [EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED] Systems Administrator, bblisa.org/kluge.net
