I think the CBL is the component of SpamHaus' XBL that lists bots. I also think that other compoents of the XBL are worthwhile. See http://www.spamhaus.org/xbl/index.lasso and http://cbl.abuseat.org/ Mailboxes that should not receive messages even mentioning evil URLs such as web pages hosted on bots can profit by rejecting mail containing evil URLs. I've forgotten which software SpamHaus recommends for that, but it can be done with dccm, dccifd, and dccproc -B. However, if I recall correctly that Gary Mill's installation neither scores as with SpamAssassin nor uses per-user dccm whiteclnt files, dccm -B would probably not be useful to him.
