I'm curious what blacklists other people are currently using at their MTA, rejecting during delivery, before mail gets to spamassassin.
For a while I've been using zen.spamhaus.org and dnsbl.sorbs.net. Based on recent stats ( http://ruleqa.spamassassin.org/?daterev=20110319 ) I think I'm dropping sorbs and adding psbl.surriel.com. MSECS SPAM% HAM% S/O RANK SCORE NAME WHO/AGE 0 0.7411 4.1503 0.152 0.31 (n/a) __RCVD_IN_ZEN 0 0.3626 5.1060 0.066 0.24 (n/a) __RCVD_IN_SORBS 0 49.8989 0.0183 1.000 0.97 0.00 RCVD_IN_PSBL Man it's a shame those __* rules don't include all their sub-rules. Why do some RBLs use firsttrusted and others use lastexternal? Shouldn't they all be the same? zen.spamhaus.org: MSECS SPAM% HAM% S/O RANK SCORE NAME WHO/AGE 0 70.7263 0.0016 1.000 1.00 0.00 RCVD_IN_XBL 0 65.6389 0.1020 0.998 0.90 0.00 RCVD_IN_PBL How can those add up to more than 100% of spam? They're both checking lastexternal, for different values?
