sbl is excellent, the cn and kr lists catch the occasional mass-
spam though, so I keep them.
I take it back, cluecentral hasn't had a hit in over 30 days,
probably because it went off line last November.
I really should pay more attention to these things, but I get so
little spam anymore with sbl-xbl and greylisting that it hardly
seems to matter.
Which points up an important fact: once you start using external
resources for spam control, you need to pay attention to their
status. In the past, some DNSBL's have shut down with a "list the
world" tactic that is designed to slap inattentive users out of
continuing to query dead lists. You don't want to be on the user
end of such a tactic, as it means rejecting all mail until you
notice it.
Just adding SpamHaus a few days ago has dramatically cut down the
amount of spam I was getting on the 5 addresses at my domain that I
monitor. Some is still coming through, but it's probably less than
1/4 of what it was.
