Four: sbl.spamhaus.org: The SBL is a fairly conservative list of the grossest spammers. No hair-splitters who argue over what sort of strength opt-in needs, but the hardcore operations. Occasionally Steve escalates major problem upstreams, but when he does he gets very swift responses. Probably the most effective DNSBL since the MAPS RBL of 1999. spamsites.relays.osirusoft.com: very low catch rate, zero collateral damage. More hardcore spammers and purveyors of spamware. A lot o0f non-mail machines on the list. dialups.relays.osirusoft.com: Dialups. There is no reason for anyone on a dialup who cannot authenticate to my server to be mailing through it. relays.visi.com: a very conservative open relay list. Run by Al Iverson, who started the ancestor of the MAPS RSS (then called RRSS) as a response to the insanity of ORBS. The only open relay list open to the public which is not fed by unethical testing. IMNSHO that set should be usable by virtually any site and is designed to have very little collateral damage. I save that for my local blacklist. (which is still at http://sc1.scconsult.com/bill/blacklist.html and is still altogether too aggressive and haphazardly maintained for anyone else.) -- Bill Cole [EMAIL PROTECTED] ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
