[ale] OT: Has your spam increased?

[John C]

I just switched to Spamhaus.  Seems to work fairly well, plus they let you
do zone transfers from them for quicker queries.

I've been fighting this problem since I started using the Internet....as an
ISP and as an Admin.....

Lately, I have found that the combination of the RBL+ (www.mail-abuse.org -
subscription for business use, free for hobby use), Spamhaus RBL
(www.spamhaus.org) and Spamcop RBL(www.spamcop.net - currently free, could
go commercial) are stopping 70% of the spam coming into my mail server at
work.

These three all work well with Postifx and I would assume other MTA's out
there.

YMMV of course.

Mike
