Wow! In the 90 minutes since I took out that RBL I've personally received 6 spams (that my Eudora junk filter caught) and 2 more spams that Eudora didn't catch. I have 5 or so other RBL's active so this seems like a lot to me. I'll wait and see what kind of complaints I get from my users but I may need to put the sorbs list back on!!!! Does anyone know of a less agressive list that attacks the same types of spam. 6:30 PM -0500 2/18/04, Paul List Hess wrote: >At 2:36 PM -0800 2/10/04, Global Homes Webmaster wrote: >>The amount of spam getting through my defenses decreased dramatically when >>I added dul.dnsbl.sorbs.net to my RBL server list.
