RBL Realtime blacklist recommended

I'm searching for a good choice of RBL's

I used the Astaro default:
sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org
pbl.spamhaus.org
cbl.abuseat.org
result, to many spam mails

I added some extra like this:
bl.spamcop.net
dnsbl.njabl.org
sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org
cbl.abuseat.org
pbl.spamhaus.org
dnsbl.sorbs.net
ix.dnsbl.manitu.net
result, to many rejected mails.

Does anyone has a good experience?

  • What version of Astaro?  With 7.4 and later, I don't think your problem is inadequate RBLs; more probably, a configuration change is in order.

    In any case, the danger of using an RBL is that anti-spam is "broken" if the RBL goes offline.

    Cheers - Bob
    PS zen.spamhaus.org = sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org + pbl.spamhaus.org

  • Keep your RBL list slim #1.  Make sure all the lists you use are active an reliable #2.

    Some recommendations:
    zen.spamhaus.org
    b.barracudacentral.org - you must register to get access for this
  • The defaults have worked great for most (if not all) of my customers.  I'm with Bob, maybe there's some other changes in your config that can improve matters.

  • I've found spamhaus (sbl-xbl) and spamcop to both be reliable.

    BTW, I don't think you need to use both sbl-xbl and pbl; you can use 'zen' instead: http://www.spamhaus.org/zen/

  • Thank you guys, 
    you can disable the 3 Astaro defaults     
    sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org
    pbl.spamhaus.org
    cbl.abuseat.org 
    and use instead zen.spamhaus.org.

    I use the 3 default above + b.barracudacentral.org (which you need to register) it came out good.
