I forgot to ask that one! What RBL's are you using? I currently use: spam.dnsrbl.net relays.ordb.org bl.spamcop.net
and they seem to stop about 30-40% of my spam. These are free. I think some RBL's are not free? I'd be very interested to know which ones you use to stop 80-90% of spam, especially if there is no cost involved. I could live with that and just go back to the default spam.flt file. I remember a month or 2 back that someone listed the ones they used. It seemed that some of them didn't work. All my messages ended up in the spam folder when I tried them anyway.. I must have somehow missed James' filter. I'll look for it in the archives. I'm getting desperate for spam relief. I get about 200-250 a day in my webmaster account and many of my long time users are too. Any help I could get would be greatly appreciated!

This will help out a lot with spam in that it would reject known spammer IP addreses before examining the content of the email. I would use your spam filters to handle what is left that gets past RBL. Typically I have seen that RBL will get rid of 80-90% of the spam. As for a good spam filter I think James had a pretty nice(and funny) one he posted a while back.. On 29/Oct/2003 23:46:38, Paul Alger wrote: > Does anyone have a spam.flt file that works good?
