This is normal. In the interval the IP address was reported to spamcop and a URI in the email was reported to SURBL. > I'm getting flooded with spam emails to the point that > it's hard to find my actual legitimate emails in my inbox... There are two obvious problems: 1. URIBL_BLOCKED, you need to setup your own nameserver that does its own DNS lookups. At the moment you are probably using a shared DNS cache which leads to a lot of look-ups coming from the same IP address. 2. You aren't using Bayes - this is the main problem.
