For any of you who are | looking for a reliable and ACCURATE list of domains to block, you might want | to consider using one I have compiled at | http://www.vantekcommunications.com/spam . | | The file that you can download at that page is already in the | url-domain-bl.txt format, ready to be directly imported into IMail. I have | just finished installing an automated script that allows me to instantly | update this list in real-time, which you can be assured will be updated on | at least a daily basis. ALL "bad domains" are entered BY HAND, by sifting | through the HTML of spams MANUALLY. There should be no false positives at | all in this list (knock wood). I have ZERO tolerance for false positives. | All domains are listed in alphabetical order, for easy sorting. | | A methodology of how I choose domains to list is included on the above page. | I catch almost 100 spams a day with this list on one server alone, and it | only processes something like 1,500 messages per day, total. While this | certainly isn't the "final solution" to end spam, it is a good tool to add | to your arsenal, and best of all it's FREE. Please feel free to drop me a | note if you have any questions or comments. I would appreciate any feedback | you may have.
