So I guess my questions now are: How do I find & set up a good, reliable set of RBLs? Do I need to invest a lot of time or can I automate it? Is this an anomaly with cloudmark's db/service or does this kind of thing happen a lot? (PS: I re-initialized my razor client but it hasn't helped.)
I've heard of similar problems with Pyzor today (which is completely separate from Razor). With two similar services bogging down, I suspect they are due to the increased traffic caused by Mydoom and sites that bounce/notify "senders."
http://news.com.com/2100-7355-5148995.html states:
"On Tuesday and today, people have noticed that the Internet is a percentage slower. The bounce-back e-mails could account for up to 25 percent of this slowdown"
It's especially applicable in this case. The increased volume from both the virus and responses to it translates directly into increased load on Razor, Pyzor, DCC, and anything else where recipients check each message against a centralized server (or group of servers).
At least from the tone of the article, it sounds like more and more people are coming to realize that auto-notification on viruses just doesn't make sense anymore.
