Although I would agree about spamcop I would tend to disagree with the use
of SBL+XBL directly in MailScanner.conf

I ran a little test on one of our servers the other day for a laugh.

The test was totally random and not that scientific, but of the 20 odd
emails that had been scored on spamhaus I found that at least 2 of them
should not have been blocked outright
