Backscatter.org is the worst RBL on the planet. If you use it you will
get a lot of false positives.
Lets compare backscatterer's recommended usage of their list in your
favourite MTA against your own recommendation for usage of your
hostkarma RBL in your favourite MTA:
1.) HostKarma:
deny dnslists = hostkarma.junkemailfilter.com=127.0.0.2
2.) BackScatterer:
deny senders = :
dnslists = ips.backscatterer.org
log_message = $sender_host_address listed at $dnslist_domain
message = Backscatter: $dnslist_text
I would argue, and I expect few would disagree, that you're more likely
to get a false positive from the first than the second.
Or were you ignoring the large bright red warning signs and usage
information on http://www.backscatterer.org/ ?
