Hi,
i think the best way to reduce the network traffic regarding to the network
test is to do all network test locally.
we are serving many list locally. For example spamhaus (commercial
agreement),spamcop (one time fee), njabl, sorbs , cbl.abuseat, dsbl (all
free).  We are using a rbldnsd to serve all local lists. 
You have to create your own DNS zone and adapt your SA config. You will get
faster response and the processing time decrease of each message, which is
processed by the SA.

Sorry for my bad english.

Thanks for the info
We are already using local lists from spamhaus. spamcop $1000 / year is
unreasonable I will try njabl cdbl and DSBL.  Can you tell me where do I
get lists from SORBS couldnt get anything on their site

Hi,

first you have to create an account on the sorbs site, after that you are
able to open a ticket regarding to rsync subscription.

A short summary why you want to use the rsync feed from sorbs (millione
mails per day --> performance etc.) Ip addresses, which initiate the rsync
and the sorbs admins are going to allow you the rsync.

I hope i can help you ??

Stefan

Speaking of network tests...

Other than "traditional" IP-address-based RBL lookups, SURBL/URIBL lookups, and 
network traffic for Razor, DCC, etc... is there anything ELSE for which a test 
requires network traffic which depends on a someone else's remote server that 
still runs even if/when SURBL/URIBL, Razor/DCC, and RBL lookups are ALL turned 
off?

(for example, suppose that if ALL of these I mentioned above turned off, "No 
rDNS" is still tested for. If so, then "No rDNS" would be an example of what 
should be on the list that answers my question.)

Thanks!
