iixii Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 From www.spamhaus.org: The XBL wholly incorporates data from two highly-trusted DNSBLs, the CBL (Composite Block List) from cbl.abuseat.org, and the Blitzed Open Proxy Monitor from opm.blitzed.org, therefore mail servers already using cbl.abuseat.org and opm.blitzed.org should NOT also use xbl.spamhaus.org or you will be making 'double' queries to basically the same data source and only one DNSBL will appear to work, the other(s) will appear to not catch anything. Contrary to this advice, the SpamCop options allow checking BOTH cbl.abuseat.org and xbl.spamhaus.org. The selection should be exclusive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a spam that was blocked by cbl, but not by xbl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
