RBL List selection

[Gordon Colyn]

Hi Steve,

Unfortunately some of  my clients need to get access to the quarantined 
blacklisted mail.  I used to just reject at the MTA but have too many people 
complaining about loss of mail and then need to access it in quarantine.

I am trying to find some middle ground....

Thanks
Gordon

Personally - I wouldn't use any here at all.  Use the
sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org in your MTA to reject listed servers at the SMTP
level, then let SpamAssassin score the rest of the blacklists.

Cheers,
Steve.
