Here are the dnsbls I use, the order I use them in, and the number of
matches in the current maillog:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] joliver]$ ./spam.sh
cbl.abuseat.org
4342
dynablock.easynet.nl
1938
sbl.spamhaus.org
1146
dnsbl.sorbs.net
176
bl.spamcop.net
427
proxies.blackholes.easynet.nl
3
list.dsbl.org
44
dnsbl.njabl.org
16
relays.visi.com
4
relays.ordb.org
3
dialups.visi.com
0
cbl.abuseat.org is, hands-down, the highest-hitting dnsbl on all mail
servers I admin. I'm not aware of any collateral damage, but then, I'm
*very* aggressive, and most of my clients happily use SPEWS ;-) I would
recommend to *not* use bl.spamcop.net at the MTA for a large-scale,
production server... even *they* say not to. It's too easy to game
SpamCop.
