selwerd, osirusoft, spews, spamsites, spamhaus, ordb, spamcop, spambag, 
rsl, abl, blackholes, dews...

I don't get *any* spam, not even one (nor do my customers) and yes I do 
check now and again to see if the filtering is too aggressive, and no I 
can't say I have found it to be so yet...

nope, only xdsl accounts that have been used for, or are "associated with" 
(meaning share IP space with a spammer) spam at some point, the user in 
question gets blocked on two counts anyway, as their upstream is one of the 
worst offenders on the net...
uu.net is full of spammers
bulletproofwebhosting.net
NS for bzah.com (Empire Towers)
scelson
exactis/247media
global2000hosting.net
abuse@xxxxxxxxxxx: webform
for NETBLK-UU-208-243-248-D1
this is not a list of open relays
please see http://selwerd.cx/xbl/

>;^) aye....  and I haven't seen a single spam for oooh I forget how long, 
and I haven't had anyone upset by it except spammers...  my only "problem" 
with it is I cannot understand why everyone doesn't do it, to my mindset it 
is as elementary precaution as running a firewall, and there is no 
downside, the user in question is the only one on the whole cobalt list who 
gets blocked, and if it was an issue I could go to 
http://list.cobalt.com/mailman/listinfo/cobalt-users  if I really wanted to 
buy something off them... vbg

while we are here and more or less on this subject, one for bruce 
timberlake, what kernel are these new wunderboxen going to run? and indeed 
when is cobalt going to release an up to date official kernel for the 
earlier boxes?
