What DNSBLs are you using?  I spotchecked a few of the hosts you
showed in your blog entry, and they're all in the CBL or PBL.

The CBL lists vast numbers of zombies, with essentially no false
positives.  (It watches mail to large spamtraps and lists hosts that
send mail with zombie-ish characteristics).  The PBL is Spamhaus'
policy block list, including ranges of dynamic and other hosts that
shouldn't be sending mail.  The Spamhaus ZEN list includes both of them
along with the SBL.

I'd think that would catch as much spam just as cheaply without the
false positives.

R's,
John
