Here's the options and their highpoints.

Declude is going to test the IP of each hop in the delivery chain (unless IPBYPASS specified) through that DNS query.
The maximum number of hops to check defined by the HOPHIGH parameter

XBL  ip4r xbl.spamhaus.org  * 3 0
One DNS query per IP, most efficent.
Fewest scoring options.
Can't get simpler than this.

Or

XBL-SBL    ip4r sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org 127.0.0.2 3 0
XBL-CBL   ip4r sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org 127.0.0.4 3 0
XBL-NJABL  ip4r sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org 127.0.0.5 2 0
XBL-Blitzed  ip4r sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org 127.0.0.6 3 0
Since the dns name is the same this will still make only one DNS query per IP, also being most efficient.
You could also weight the results differently.
The XBL-NJABL is listed as a "time-expired NJABL open proxy" so it is a subset of the full NJABL list.

Or

SBL  ip4r sbl.spamhaus.org  127.0.0.2 3 0
BLITZEDALL  ip4r opm.blitzed.org   *  3 0
CBL  ip4r    cbl.abuseat.org   127.0.0.2 3 0
NJABL  dnsbl.njabl.org   *       2 0
4 DNS queries per IP, being less efficient.
You'd get the full NJABL although scoring this at one weight.
In my own opinion, I think using the individual lists offers the best chance at getting the most fresh results. I don't know if this can be proven with the results. Also allows for a potential overlap of lists. If somebody is on NJABL and Blitzedall they could get scored twice.

Or

SBL  ip4r sbl.spamhaus.org  127.0.0.2 3 0
BLITZEDALL  ip4r opm.blitzed.org   *  3 0
CBL  ip4r    cbl.abuseat.org   127.0.0.2 3 0
NJABL-RELAYS    ip4r    dnsbl.njabl.org   127.0.0.2       3 0
NJABL-DUL        ip4r dnsbl.njabl.org  127.0.0.3       2 0
NJABL-SOURCES  ip4r    dnsbl.njabl.org   127.0.0.4       3 0
NJABL-MULTISTAGE-RELAY      ip4r    dnsbl.njabl.org   127.0.0.5       02 0
NJABL-FORMMAIL_RELAY ip4r  dnsbl.njabl.org   127.0.0.8       2 0
NJABL-PROXIES ip4r    dnsbl.njabl.org   127.0.0.9       3 0
4 DNS quries per IP, being less efficient.
You'd get the full NJABL with the ability to score them at different weights. Most flexible for scoring. In my own opinion, I think using the individual lists offers the best chance at getting the most fresh results. I don't know if this can be proven with the results. Also allows for a potential overlap of lists. If somebody is on NJABL and Blitzedall they could get scored twice.

Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] dnsbl locations explained???


SBL+XBL sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org 127.0.0.2-6 Combined zone to reduce queries
     Includes both SBL and XBL zones


I have:

sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org    *

But I am wondering on the downside of such a wildcard. Will the system check ANY/ALL IPs belonging to that domain, or just the first response? Anyone know? I am thinking perhaps we should list all IPs to cut down on "system hunting"?
