Hi!

The conventional RBLS all have much lower scores than the URIBLs. It
takes the top 5 RBLs to match the score of the top 3 surbl.org lists.
For this reason Multi-listing in multiple RBLs rarely causes as hefty a
score problem as URIBLs. I'd be very happy if the URIBL scores were more
similar to the RBL scores.

While multi-listing is somewhat common in RBLs, it's the vast majority
of cases in URIBLs. Over 50% of my mail that hits any surbl.org lists
hits 3 or more of them.

I dont agree here. Things change, scores do change also. What percentage of spam is hit by a regular RBL, on your system, and what percentage is hit by a URIBL? On my end its really the URLBI stuff that throws out the spams. Most regular RBL stuff is somewhat obsolete. With all the botnets. Perhaps i get early spams but the Spamcop lists and so on dont score much first fresh runs now days.

The first regular list is spamcop, the rest i dont even see inside the top 20.
