That's why I tend to shy away from the big combined lists and the overly
aggressive lists. I pick and choose certain lists and keep a watchful eye
on things to make sure things don't go awry. When I switched to the
spamhaus sbl-xbl list, the number of blocked E-Mails shot sky high, I was
hoping I'd found THE list, but unfortunately the next day the inquiring
E-Mails from my users started coming in and it was back to the regular sbl
list.
And as Chris mentioned, delay-checks in sendmail is your friend. We have a
couple of customers in Indonesia that started getting blocked because their
ISP was added to one of the lists. A quick edit of the access file and
they were allowed in while keeping the spammers out. They were maybe 1 out
of every 500 spam messages, but they were a customer, so it was nice to be
able to block the spammers while still allowing valid E-Mail in. Without
delay-checks, I would have had to drop that list.
Corporate site BTW.
