We still use NJABL, SpamCop, and Spamhaus.  They seem to be sufficiently
prepared to handle the DDoS attacks that buried IM, Osirusoft, etc.
Generally speaking, I don't like using RBLs because of the collateral
damage (blocking entire hosts and innocent users) but find them to be a
necessary evil at this point.  What I want is accurate denial of
messages based solely on content rather than where it comes from.
Unfortunately, we're not there yet.
