Andrew,

This is also particularly hurtful when a zombie sends E-mail through one of these servers. I almost never see SpamCop blocking big ISP mail servers, but I see zombies relaying through ISP mail servers every day.

This would actually be a good candidate for a combination test. You could disable SpamCop when it also hit AHBL-GOOD with a net score of 0, but not credit AHBL-GOOD otherwise. Of course, SpamCop could just fix their issues with ISP mail servers. Who knows, maybe their stance is to force ISP's into active defenses against zombies relaying through them???

I'd recommend all of them but FIVETEN-MULTISTAGE.  Always start with a very
low weight, like 1.  Then evaluate them in your own environment; my results
may be interesting, but it's yours that you care about.

I also recommend AHBL-EXEMPTIONS as a whitelisting test, e.g.

AHBL-GOOD       ip4r    exemptions.ahbl.org             127.0.0.2       -5
0

To reward "known good" servers (whic isn't to say that NO spam comes from
them, but does indicate that the baby shouldn't be thrown out with the
bathwate).

This is particularly helpful, for example, if SpamCop lists an AOL outbound
mail server.
