I use just shy of 60 DNS based tests against the sender, both IP4R and RHSBL.
Perhaps 10-12 matter. Due to false positives, I rate most of them relatively low and have built up their weights as a balancing act. That act is greatly assisted by using a weighting system and not "reject on first hit", and furthered by being able to do "combo tests" such as the example Nick offered on a different thread this morning. SPAMHAUS XBL (CBL and the Blitzed OPM), SPAMCOP, FIVETEN, MXRATE-BL are consistent good performers for me. Tests that I try out tend to stay in my configuration after they've become inutile as long as they do no harm. I groom the lists perhaps four times per year.
