As have I, with good results. Note that if you want to use multiple DNSbls with SIMS, you need to be using one of the SIMS 1.8b's, since 1.7 only supports using one DNSbl. I don't recall which 1.8 beta added support for multiple lists, but 1.8b8 and 1.8b9d14 both have it and are both rock-solid stable. > I use the following lists, and have had good luck with them, but I > suspect that they'll be rather too aggressive for most people. > > relays.visi.com "See http://relays.visi.com/"; > opm.blitzed.org "See http://blitzed.org/opm/"; > sbl.spamhaus.org "See http://spamhaus.org/sbl/"; > spews.relays.osirusoft.com "See http://spews.org/bounce.html"; > cn-kr.blackholes.us "Mail from China/Korea not allowed." > brazil.blackholes.us "Mail from Brazil not allowed." > bl.spamcop.net "See http://spamcop.net/bl.shtml"; > > Many others will likely make suggestions about DNSbl's for one to > use, though at the very least, I'd suggest relays.visi.com, > opm.blitzed.org, and sbl.spamhaus.org. Some of these (i.e. > opm.blitzed.org) return results other than 127.0.0.2. The spamhaus.org and SPEWS lists are included in the relays.osirusoft.com list, which also includes a good open relay list, dial-up ranges and open proxies. I've found that a lot of open proxies slip through the relays.osirusoft.com list, though, so I also use opm.blitzed.org. Also, ORDB overlaps a bit with relays.osirusoft.com, but between the two of them, they catch most of the relay spam that's aimed at my server. My current DNSbl mix is: relays.ordb.org relays.osirusoft.com opm.blitzed.org korea.services.net > You'll need to add the results you want to reject in your blacklist > (i.e. if one list returns "127.0.0.3", you'll need to enter 127.0.0.3 > into your blacklist. I have 127.0.0.2-127.255.255.255 listed.) Just to elaborate, 127.0.0.2-127.255.255.255 covers all possible responses from any of the blacklists. -- Christopher Bort | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Webmaster, Global Homes | [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://www.globalhomes.com/> ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
