I was actually hoping to use it like I use zen.spamhaus.org and dul.sorbs.net
and just reject emails listed on those. It is very rare that I get a false
positive from either, but their efficacy isn't what it used to be, either.
So, I just configured my tcpserver to invoke rblsmtpd using
b.barracudacentral.org as well as the other two, and after only a few
seconds, the difference was astounding. Here is perhaps 2 minutes worth of
stats:
$ grep -c sorbs bl_stats
9
$ grep -c spamh bl_stats
228
$ grep -c barracud bl_stats
1321
Replying to myself, after I sent this, it occurred to me that the query
order is a huge factor...rblsmtpd stops scanning after the first hit.
Here is what I got when I put zen in front of barracuda and ran it for
maybe 30 seconds:
$ grep -c barracud bl_stats2
22
$ grep -c spamh bl_stats2
355
$ grep -c sorbs bl_stats2
3
In other words, zen is probably actually more effective by itself than
barracudacentral. Nonetheless, it helps a lot.
