Here are the dnsbls I use, the order I use them in, and the number of matches in the current maillog: [EMAIL PROTECTED] joliver]$ ./spam.sh cbl.abuseat.org 4342 dynablock.easynet.nl 1938 sbl.spamhaus.org 1146 dnsbl.sorbs.net 176 bl.spamcop.net 427 proxies.blackholes.easynet.nl 3 list.dsbl.org 44 dnsbl.njabl.org 16 relays.visi.com 4 relays.ordb.org 3 dialups.visi.com 0 cbl.abuseat.org is, hands-down, the highest-hitting dnsbl on all mail servers I admin. I'm not aware of any collateral damage, but then, I'm *very* aggressive, and most of my clients happily use SPEWS ;-) I would recommend to *not* use bl.spamcop.net at the MTA for a large-scale, production server... even *they* say not to.
