Can you please give us some examples of good RBLs to use that will give
us the same coverage as spamcop without being what you call "too
aggressive"?  I ask because we use spamhaus, spamcop and ordb, and we
find that spamcopy catches over twice as much as the others put
together.  We've only had two false positives show up with spamcop in
about a year.

I agree, but the others can have this problem as well.  In our real-life
example, we've never had the problem.

They all say that, or certainly should, to avoid any responsibility.

So, which ones <smile>?
