Re: RBLs for email

[Dave Koontz <dkoontz () MBC EDU>]

The Spamhaus RBL is okay, but the best service I've found to date is their
combined RBL+XBL service.  This picks up a lot of Worms, virus, proxy and
other exploits in additonal to open relays.  In our tests, seems to block
well in excess of 90% of the junk you don't want with little to no false
positives.

Theresa, we use the ORDB Open Relay list - http://www.ordb.org/ and the
Spamhaus XBL - http://www.spamhaus.org/index.lasso .  We're also evaluating
Roaring Penguin's CanIT Pro software for enterprise wide SPAM control.

Are you using Restricted Black Lists for stopping email spam, and if so, who
is your RBL source?

Thanks in advance.
