Every month R. Scott Perry lists what Declude Test catch what percent of spam. If Declude has a similar based test, you might have him give you the percent of spam caught by simple IP or by Domain Names in a list - of course one of the variables is the list that you use to compare it to. I say part of the variable, because after very rigorous testing, I can safely say that Imail lets 20% of the HTML Spam past the url-domain-bl tests at random - the problem you will find is the failure is totally at random, thus the need for additional tests. Thus even if you work diligently to make sure you url-domain-bl list is clean, 2 out of 10 containing urls in that list will continue to pass through.

I seem to have much better luck using IP numbers in the blacklist. ====================================== Stop spam on your domain, Anti-spam solutions http://www.clickdoug.com/mailfilter.cfm For hosting solutions http://www.clickdoug.com ====================================== ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bill Foresman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, April 04, 2004 10:21 AM Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] Updated Blacklist Available Nice list!

Our list has been culled from manually sifting through the HTML from spam sent to our own mail servers, and is used on our own production servers as the file url-domain-bl.txt. The list presently contains 2,334 domain names that have been pulled from actual spam messages. We have added several hundred new domains since the last update. For those of you who utilize ASSP, you may also want to import this file for use as a "Blacklisted Domains" file. It has worked incredibly well for us, and stops a surprising amount of spam each and every day, before it ever hits our iMail server. Since the last update I have "cleaned up" the list of several duplicate entries and fully alphabetized the listings. Each and every new entry on this list was checked by hand. Each and every new domain included was also reported to SpamCop for abuse. None of the domains listed challenged the reports we sent to SpamCop. Therefore, one would have to assume that these domain owners do not care that they are being identified as spammers. I hope that you find this list useful in your own anti-spam efforts.
