DNS Black list suggestions?

[Jason Thomson]

We use spamhaus.org:   sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org and have been for some
months without any problems being reported.

As a result of reading this:

	http://www.spamhaus.org/effective_filtering.html

we recently added content filtering using the dnsbl milter.

	http://www.five-ten-sg.com/dnsbl.html

This needed a patch to reap zombies for FBSD,  and we also hacked out
some code to prevent it from checking the nameservers of the URLs found
in the messages;  we found that to be a bit overzealous.

The install script needed changing,  as well.  If you're interested,  I
can send you patches that we used to get it working.  They really are
hacks though,  so I'd rather not post them here.

This solution *seems* to be working well for us.  YMMV.

Cheers,


Jason.
