Recently, I've noticed a lot more spam. In checking the logs I find
that zen.spamhaus.org has really lost ground in terms of rejections.

I use zen and bl.spamcop.net. In the past, zen had >10 times the
number of hits that bl.spamcop.net did.

zen doesn't seem to have blocked me, because I can hand-query them,
and I'm still getting some rejections with zen.

But either something's broken - which I can't find, or zen isn't
nearly as effective as it once was.

For example:
Over a few days, I get

15025 zen rejects
26558 bl.spamcop.net rejects

(Like I said, in the past, zen would be way higher than
bl.spamcop.net. Plus it's first in the reject list, so I think bl
only gets hits if zen doesn't.)

Here's how I have my RBL's configured.

smtpd_recipient_restrictions =
permit_mynetworks,
permit_sasl_authenticated,
reject_non_fqdn_sender,
reject_non_fqdn_recipient,
reject_unknown_sender_domain,
reject_unknown_recipient_domain,
reject_unauth_destination,
check_recipient_access pcre:/etc/postfix/recipient_checks.pcre,
check_helo_access hash:/etc/postfix/helo_checks,
check_sender_access hash:/etc/postfix/sender_checks,
check_client_access hash:/etc/postfix/client_checks,
check_client_access pcre:/etc/postfix/client_checks.pcre,
reject_rbl_client zen.spamhaus.org,
reject_rbl_client bl.spamcop.net,
permit

Oh, and I'm running Poxfix 2.3.3

So, any ideas why things have changed? (Or am I imagining things...)
