stdunbar Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 Yesterday I added the Spamhaus XBL DNSBL to my mail server. I had been using the regular Spamhaus RBL along with the Spamcop and ORDB lists. After adding the spamhaus XBL stuff I've seen a big improvement. There are duplicate entries in spamcop's RBL and the spamhaus RBL but the spamhaus DNS server seems faster so I've been using it first in the list. Out of 150 spam attempts between yesterday and part of today (it is currently about 10 AM my time) only three made it through! And Mozilla's filters caught all of those. (whoops, make that four ) Either way, theses two tools combined make a very effective tool in the war. Keep it up spamcop - I'll keep subscribing and reporting.

Chris Parker Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 You might also want to add one of the DUL lists such as dul.dnsbl.sorbs.net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 I find this combination to be pretty deadly. Not for the faint of heart though....

I see plenty of those on trash-dot (mostly by people who don't have a clue) ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
