Choosing a Good DNSBL

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the can-it-filter-all-pr-firms dept.

stry_cat submitted a story about selecting a good DNSBL. It talks about some of the problems with DNS blacklists and the sorts of things that you should be looking for. Things like Speed, Selection Criteria, and Goals make the list. And of course not requiring payment to be removed from the blacklist.

    Forget about DNSBLs. Install a PF firewall (*BSD) and add this line:

    drop in quick on $ext_if proto tcp from any os Windows to $mail_server port 25

    Watch spam drop at rocket speeds.
