Hi Andrew-
I did not look at the correlation between
MXRATE and SNIFFER, only to see whether adding MXRATE would make a big
difference overall.
From a quick scan, it looks like all or
most of the messages that hit MXRATE also hit SNIFFER, which supports your
observation.
I run SNIFFER and MXRATE ahead of all the
filters. So the big question for me is whether giving MXRATE a real weight will
eliminate any filter processing. I think I'll give MXRATE a 3, so anything that
is detected by SNIFFER and MXRATE will at least be held.

FYI
Wow, Dave.
Talk about "your mileage may vary"...
My traffic has a huge overlap between MXRate-BL and
what Message Sniffer hits.
Total hits for Message Sniffer:
26,504
Total hits for MXRate-BL: 5,746
Total hits for MXRateBL which also hit Sniffer:
5,697
We also had 21 hits on MXRate-BL for messages we allowed
in; 1 was a message that was spam from a bulk emailer. There were 3 more
from ISPs that I think shouldn't be listed. The remaining 17 were
all specific lists that we heavily counterweight because the users do not
consider those particular lists spam from bulk providers.
My old weight for this test was 5 or 6 out of 20, and
that's where it will end up again tomorrow.

I'm running MXRATE at zero weight for
testing also. So far today, MXRATE hasn't picked up anything that I'm
not already holding or deleting with the other tests... It
hit on about 2500 messages so far, but they all wound up with scores over 25
anyway. (I hold on 10, delete on 20). The ones I really wanted help with -
those that hit only SNIFFER, which I weight at 7 - don't seem to be tripping
MXRATE...

Hmmm, interesting. I've gotten over 3200 hits in 2
1/2 hours with ip4r ***.mxrate.net. I'll test these with a zero
score and WARN to see if there is a difference.

dnsbl %IP4R%.sub.mxrate.net 127.0.0.2 30 0
MXRATE-SUSPICIOUS-LAST dnsbl %IP4R%.sub.mxrate.net 127.0.0.4 10 0
MXRATE-WHITE-LAST dnsbl %IP4R%.sub.mxrate.net 127.0.0.3 -25 0
On a subject tag @ 100, hold @ 200, delete @
300 scale.
I was hoping to revisit the weights, when I
noticed there were none.

thanks. That was quick and
simple.
How much weight relative to your hold weight do
people give mxrate.
What configuration do people use. It seems
like there is a lot that can be done with it from the bit I just
read
I just have the following:
MXRATE-BLOCK ip4r
*****.mxrate.net
127.0.0.2 4 0 (***** get this when

Thank you

Sign up says it free. I
bite and got an email back with what to do. (Sorry, they ask that the
address not be shared.) I assume the rest of the Declude
settings don't change.
Thanks, Scott, for the heads up.

FYI:
It looks like around Janurary 26th the
pub.mxrate.com IP4R DNS services were made private. Since then
I've had no response from the DNS lists.
They have discontinued the public service
and made a private service available.
