Right, that's what we are using. We use it and the ORDB relays list but we are still getting enough SPAM to warrant serious evalulation of CanIT.

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. http://www.spamhaus.org/xbl/index.lasso -----Original Message----- From: The EDUCAUSE Security Discussion Group Listserv [mailto:SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU] On Behalf Of Jason Richardson Sent: Monday, March 22, 2004 11:49 AM To: SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU Subject: Re: [SECURITY] RBLs for email Theresa, we use the ORDB Open Relay list - http://www.ordb.org/ and the Spamhaus XBL - http://www.spamhaus.org/index.lasso .

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