I found relays.osirusoft.com to be a bit too aggressive for my purposes -- it blocked enough legit mail to elicit a few complaints from my users. I've found relays.ordb.org to be just about right for my purposes. Combining it with dialups.relays.osirusoft.com to zap dial-ups and spamhaus.relays.osirusoft.com to get the known bad guys has proved to be a pretty good mix. > I would have liked to have kept using the MAPS lists as well but > after 3 attempts to get a contract MAPS basically said as I have 3 > servers the only option was 3 x $200... which I felt was a bit steep. > I didn't feel like begging for a discount so I left it. Agreed. As much as I wanted to continue using MAPS, I would have had a difficult time selling the subscription fee to my boss, who has a more or less 'ignorance is bliss' attitude toward spam. IOW, he isn't aware of the things we do to keep it away from him and suddenly having to pay a $200 subscription fee for it would not have sit very well with him.
