As we talked in the past off-list it is almost impossible if you
are a hosting company to keep track of blacklists unless you
get one set of IPs.  I noticed "off-the" list you are being
blocked quite a bit and if it wasn't one it was the other.

If it wasn't the other it was the other one and so on.  I had
to disable one server because even friends would get blocked
because of harsh IP blocks with PBI or Pacific Bell they have sometimes.

I use the following:

ORDB
SpamCop
VISI
---- added extra
Cstm-WIREHUB-DNSBL
Cstm-SpamBag.Org
Cstm-OsiruSoft.com - relays.osirusoft.com
Cstm-OsiruSoft.com - inputs.relays.osirusoft.com
Cstm-Spamsites.OsiruSoft.com
Cstm-Spamhaus.OsiruSoft.com
Cstm-Spews.OsiruSoft.com
Cstm-Spamhaus.org
Cstm-Openlists.Cjb  --> This I disabled because too harsh/not too
accurate.
Cstm-Mail-Abuse.org

Plus I have added about 40 custom filters of *.ch *.tw *.ru, *.co 
and so on.

I might be overdoing it a little but it helps.  I just love bouncing
mail off my 'home' machine but I cannot apply such harsh policies on
my server RAQ.

Okay enough said... let me plug mine in too :)
