Why spamcop and not spews?
My question is why a dnsbl that the *maintainer* of which says should not be used for production mail systems?
Because it's a targetted dynamic solution for a dynamic problem and I believe it has a chance at working?
You have more faith than the person behind that list?
"This blocking list is somewhat experimental and should not be used in a production environment where legitimate email must be delivered. " Which basicly says to me that it's not 100% accurate and will sometimes drop that vital letter from your lover/lawyer/customer. The same is true for just about every other anti-spam filter or serivce. Thats where a rule based system like Spamassassin is good, you can put in even a flawed test, give it a point or two and it's still useful. The sum is a lot better than the parts. -- Simon Lyall. | Newsmaster | Work: simon.lyall@ihug.co.nz Senior Network/System Admin | Postmaster | Home: simon@darkmere.gen.nz ihug, Auckland, NZ | Asst Doorman | Web: http://www.darkmere.gen.nz
