Unlike Anil I think the purpose of a blacklist is to be current so the
most popular are the ones I use.
The big advantage of the way sambar handles the blacklists is being able
to set DNSBL Minimum Match = 2 this makes sambar get 2 positives before
it blocks the email. The hosts below have been reliable for my purposes.
