Note: my MSA is separated from MX, but both use the same (caching)
DNS server.

I do't think that it is a lot of queries. Of course, it is more than two,
but they are done in paralel (more precise async) and DNS queries
are cheap. Thease RBLs overlaps only in ~50 - 60 %, thus more
probability that bad actor will get hit, when i combine them.

I abandon ZEN (only DROP from its codes) for auth, after i hit some
false positives. Initialy i got panic (not really), as it was my daughter's
partner, but then we identified, that it was IP change, and then again,
and again...

I am aware of it, i had account there, but then i removed it. But yes,
i investigate results too, not on daily base, only when i "feel" that it is
needed. But as i mention, my user base is low and i know personaly
all of them, no problem to inform about problem...

>Nice graphics!

Thanks, python + mathplotlib, the code, if you are interested, is here:
https://git.slavino.sk/ipcartog.git/ but some Slovak strings are
hardcoded...

>I don't block based on country, because users sometimes travel.

I have per user country list (no user interface too), by default whole
EU + some popular destinations (i don't know to name them in English
from head), and i usually know when users will travel, no problem yet.

Some years ago i was against GeoIP blocking, but then i changed
my minds, but only for email AUTH (yet?).

>The opposite for me.  They doubled in the last three weeks.

Perhaps they just moved from me to you :-P But i afraid, that they
will return...

Currently is my web server abused, for about 10 days... I am only
not sure if i am target, or i am used to abuse others (just SYNs, but
not as high to be flood)... I noticed it only from TCP retransmission
monitoring (increased by ~100 times), it is ~100 IPs daily, most of
them from AS20473.
