We're using sbl.spamhaus.org and list.dsbl.org

Between the two, about 65% to 70% of incoming mail is rejected by the mail=

server. We seem to have a very poor signal to noise ratio for email on our=

domains.

suguest using it with score based filters such as spamassassin.

blacklist large netblocks on a whim), and list.dsbl.org only lists single I=
