RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Spamhaus

Reply to myself. READ THE MESSAGE BETTER AND FOLLOW THE LINKS. When I did get out to the spamhaus page, most of my question as cleared up. Sorry.   However Matt, should I adjust the sbl-xbl score up to compensate for removing the other separate tests?   Thanks. John   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Carter Sent: Wednesday, December 01, 2004 12:32 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Spamhaus   Please explain.  BLITZED-ALL and CBL don’t check Spamhaus, do they?  Scott’s spam database page makes it look like BLITZED-ALL goes to opm.blitzed.org and CBL goes to cbl.abuseat.org.  Is there a “relationship” of these to Spamhaus? And if I do drop those two for SBL-XBL, should I increase the SBL-XBL hit score?   Thanks, John   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Matt Sent: Wednesday, December 01, 2004 12:01 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Spamhaus   No, that zone is only for SBL entries.  There is a combined zone at sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org that will return a 127.0.0.2 for a SBL hit, a 127.0.0.4 for a XBL/CBL hit, and a 127.0.0.6 for a BLITZED-ALL hit (you should remove BLITZED-ALL's native zone if you use this, just like CBL).  Using the sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org zone instead of three different zones for these purposes will save a couple of DNS lookups for each E-mail since Declude is smart enough to only query the zone once, and it can get as many result codes back from that single query as are needed. Unfortunately the config information on Spamhaus' site isn't perfectly clear, but what I have described above is accurate.     http://www.spamhaus.org/xbl/index.lasso Matt
