Really? Personally I find the PBL just kicks its ass.
When I did my research for setting up RBL's, I found old comparisons between RBL's that seemed to indicate that the spamhaus PBL and the spamcop lists had slightly higher levels of flase postives. Not 'bad', but just poor enough that I prefer to give PBL a weighted score in SA rather than run it as a poison pill in the MTA. Though with everything I've been seeing lately, I'm darned tempted to ramp it up. Especially if sorbs DUL list is going to go bye-bye....
Perhaps it is time to do some new comparisons? Does anyone have some stats on the effectiveness of various RBL's versus the FP rate? Presumably the scoring defaults in SA are somehow based on this, but I wouldn't mind being able to decide for myself. Unfortunately, the privacy regs prevent me from keeping a good corpus here and doing my own tests.....
