RE: bogus blacklists

["Marek Podmaka" <marki@onee.sk>]

Hello,

Would you recommend using SPEWS Level1 (www.spews.org) for webhosting
company (offering also email service)? It is using l1.spews.dnsbl.sorbs.net,
although it is not mentioned on the sorbs website (only on spews.org). And
what about other sorbs lists? For example the "smtp" and "spam" lists.

Thanks
