Re: SORBS - Is There a Better Spam Blacklist?

Likely both. I have been privy to some google / gmail mail server admin correspondence, they have been working on improving their outbound filtering (for the last 2 years?) and seem to have made a dent, but by no means have they stopped emitting spam. I suspect most DNSbls that use spam traps, don't bother telling the ISP about the abuse _before_ listing the IP, as by the time the ISP's abuse desk gets around to reading & acting on the e-mail, the spam run to thousands? millions? has already completed. (Most using DNSbls as part of their spam control, are hoping the DNSbl sees the spam before it gets to their server.) -

Re: SORBS - Is There a Better Spam Blacklist?
There are hundreds of DNSbls to choose from http://moensted.dk/spam/?addr= I suggest tagging till you find which closest meet your needs, then whitelist those you want messages from, in case their ISP is having abuse issues that get noticed by the DNSbls you use. Plenty of spam seems to be comming from IP 64.233.182.185 Atleast one other DNSbl has IP 64.233.182.185 currently listed. http://moensted.dk/spam/?addr=64.233.182.185 Plenty of spam seems to be comming from IP 93.252.22.249 also a few other DNSbls have IP 93.252.22.249 currently listed. http://moensted.dk/spam/?addr=93.252.22.249

A candidate for blacklisting
One of the keystones of the campaign is a website run by "volunteers", and which therefore slips under the AEC requirements for revealing campaign donations. The site is hosted on Tim Howard's Net Harbour servers. (rentrort.netharbour.com.au)
According to the article, Net Harbour also did the spamming. Thanks for spelling out the domain name, netharbour.com.au which translates to [210.23.135.54], belonging to the Pacific Internet Australia 210.23.120.0/19 network. I don't know whether the campaign was mailed out using that IP address too, but it appears have made it into a few broad blacklists already.
If you don't want to receive "legal" junk e-mail, use a blacklist or two. Maybe we should create a blacklist specifically for political spammers? Sure, we do recognize their freedom under the law to annoy their neighbours, and we do so by awarding them their very own, exclusive blacklist, not to be confused with mere open proxies. We can even afford to list them manually, to make sure there is no mistake.

Good advice..
Whatever you do, check them with drbcheck, to see if they are on a blacklist -- a lot of these places are notorious for hosting spammers and you wouldn't to blow a huge chunk of cash only to find that you can't get an e-mail out to most of the rest of the world..

Very useful site..This site will help you figure out exactly which blacklists are listing you. It's a DNSRBL search engine.
From there, you can (hopefully) contact the blacklists individually and convince them to delist you.

Re:How about sanctions instead?
We have 1 & 2, but spam continues to be a problem. Why do you think everybody is complaining about the respective rest of the world as the primary spam source? Spam is rarely sent from the recipient's country. "Local" spam is under control. We also have sanctions against ISPs from which spam originates: There are lists of known spam-friendly ISPs (and their IP blocks). Other DNS blocking lists address faster moving targets. Those are collective punishments against every customer of the listed ISPs. There are even people who block entire countries. You aren't thinking about "out of band" sanctions, are you?
