we are using sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org, dul.dnsbl.sorbs.net, bl.spamcop.net
and list.dsbl.org in this particular order. The results are available
at:
http://graph.noc.ntua.gr/a/graph_529.html
Sbl-xbl(zen).spamhaus.org being first in the list and more complete
gets the most hits. Dul.dnsbl.sorbs.net does a pretty good job without
causing the problems of dnsbl.sorbs.net (too aggressive, weird
re-listing policy etc.). Bl.spamcop.net gets fewer hits, tends too be
aggressive sometimes (that's why we have combined rbls with a proper
whitelist) but also works as an early detector which is useful.
List.dsbl.org gets even fewer hits being last and smaller.
I will completely concur with the statement about spamcop being too
aggressive -- I work with a company that sends out ~10 million messages
per month per ip (we're an ESP) and we can get listed on Spamcop for as
few as 20 complaints on one of those IPs, and there's absolutely no
feedback mechanism that they'll listen to us with.
Spamhaus is fair. DULs are a great idea. But please, please don't
support SpamCop. Their policies are not fair and you /will/ lose some
legitimate email in the process.
Jason, if your folks own "emaildirect.com" expect to remain blacklisted.
I just received a mortgage spam from them which hit no BL rules at all.
I'm motivated to submit it to all and sundry.
