crap ... sorbs is the only list I trust enough to have them at SMTP level.
In the past, I did some tests to determine which lists caught the most
spam without FP's, and found that sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org (not the full
'zen' rbl), was catching over 90% of spam. I also use njabl, though
lately it looks like it mostly overlaps with spamhaus, but the 'web' and
'dul' lists from sorbs are still catching a couple of 100 spam each day
that were not caught by spamhaus. So I would really hate to see SORBS go.
IMPORTANT: If sorbs does not get picked-up by a new host, will SA
developers be ready to roll-out an SA update to remove the sorbs rules, so
that we don't suffer a bunch of timeouts? Or how does that work?
