I haven't used RBL's in the past because of the network latency in making over 200k internet DNS queries per day. However i recently got rsync access to the spamhaus.org sbl and xbl lists, and have been maintaining a local copy using rbldnsd. I think the local DNS/network is fast enough to keep up. Thoughts?
Are the spamhaus.org lists any good? Any horror stories? What about other's? Lucas mentioned surbl. I see i can get rsync access to surbl, which is good. I may try it out. Any others? Also should i just use a sendmail dnsbl, or let Spamassassin do the dnsbl queries? There are advantages and disadvantages either way. Where in Spammassin can i disable all the public RBL's but only leave access to my local RBL? Lastly any general thoughts on using RBL's? I used to be very much against the use of RBL's... but the Spam coming through is already way out of hand. ray -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ray DeJean http://www.r-a-y.org Systems Engineer Southeastern Louisiana University IBM Certified Specialist AIX Administration, AIX Support =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= _______________________________________________ Visit http://www.mimedefang.org and http://www.canit.ca MIMEDefang mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/mailman/listinfo/mimedefang
