I strongly believe that a bad domain list is an important tool in
fighting spam. Some use it before SA, some use it in SA. Some use it
within SA as a blacklist (as above), some use it as non-blacklist rules
(as in the EvilRules set).

Do be careful, because they can result in FPs.  As of my last download
from Stearns' blacklists, I have had to reverse three entries. (I'll be
sending that info in with my next set of additions.) But they are an
extremely valuable tool.

As for spam blocking, I'm well over 99%, and many weeks I block 99.9% of
all spam.
