------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2008-02-11 00:34 ------- zen probably should not be used in this application, and arguably nor should XBL. SBL is specifically a list of spam spoort spaces, (DNS, www, MX, etc. servers). XBL is a list of compromised hosts, mostly botnets, mostly senders, though some fast flux web hosting also. PBL is a list of spaces that Spamhaus believes and ISPs specify should not be emitting mail, but could host *legitimate nameservers, web servers, etc.* PBL is anything but mailservers. (zen is a combination of SBL, XBL and PBL into a single list.) SBL is the most correct list to use in this test. PBL, though zen, could FP on legitimate nameservers, legitimate web servers, etc. http://www.spamhaus.org/pbl/index.lasso "The Policy Block List The Spamhaus PBL is a DNSBL database of end-user IP address ranges which should not be delivering unauthenticated SMTP email to any Internet mail server except those provided for specifically by an ISP for that customer's use. [...] The PBL lists both dynamic and static IPs, any IP which by policy (whether the block owner's or -interim in its absence- Spamhaus' policy) should not be sending email directly to the MX servers of third parties. [...] Do not use PBL in filters that do any deep parsing of Received headers, or for other than checking IP addresses that hand off to your mailservers." ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.
