Dave,

Since moving to testing on multiple hops, I have found that the expire 
of records in many of the open relay/spam trap lists has something to be 
desired (as far as my purposes go).  They seem to operate with the 
impression that people only use these lists on the last hop, however 
with zombie spammers now starting to relay through legitimate mail 
servers, it's useful to be able to tag the originating IP as an open 
relay, but of course only if the information is timely.  I have also 
found that besides XBL/CBL, the relay/spam trap lists, there is lack of 
a suitable mechanism for delisting unless there is an actual mail server 
at that IP which can send and receive notifications.

As far as the DUL lists go, they are just that, DUL lists, and there is 
no way out of one unless you are statically assigned and authorized to 
serve.  The only fault with NJABL might be that they aren't delisting 
the open proxy.  I've been meaning to write a note to several of these 
lists explaining our (Declude's) capabilities and asking for help in 
either delisting false positives when found, or reducing the time before 
delisting/re-testing.  I have also been phasing out SORBS and FIVE-TEN 
on my system because they are unreliable by design.  SBBL also recently 
got removed because I can't seem to find a site to report FP's to, and 
their hit rate has been dropping over time (possibly abandoned as a 
public resource).  NJABL though is above average in terms of reliability 
on their open relay tests, and their SOURCES test hardly has any 
questionable sources in it (static spammers).

As far as your situation goes, IMail 8 with WHITELIST AUTH would solve 
this without you needing to weaken your system.  I upgraded to IMail 8 
for just two things; 1) fixing the queue so that it couldn't steal 
messages from Declude, and 2) passing AUTH information in the Q* files 
so that Declude could whitelist local users.

Matt
