That's the downside of a fully automated system. Every mailserver with more than a few 1000 users are bound to end up on spamcop again and again, either because spamcop's header parsing is broken (it is, sometimes), or because some users are reporting 'spam' that isn't. > <rant>This is the fourth RBL I had to remove because all those > SFBs are too Stoopid(tm) to whitelist important mail servers.</rant> Happy with - sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org - list.dsbl.org - relays.ordb.org and until recently SPEWS (dropped it because it didn't catch much that wasn't caught by the others already.) I used to use the country based blackholes list for cn and tw for a while, but I don't see the need anymore. <plug> And, of course, postgrey as the very first line of defense. </plug> Coupled with the usual checking on HELO (blocking 'localhost' HELOs and my own IP does wonders!), SMTP protocol conformance (pipelining), sender (envelope) address checking. -- vbi -- TODO: apt-get install signify
