Which DNS black list do you subscribe to? Which on seems to work the best? We have Symantec's Mail Security 4.0. Thanks
 
I am also running SMS 4.0.

I initially started with relays.ordb.org, but it blocked very few connections and we still received a good amount of spam.
I recently switched to sbl.spamhaus.org and it blocks many more connections, but unfortunately, I can't really see a reduction in the amount of spam that is sent our way.

relays.ordb blocked about 2000 connection attempts in 2 weeks. Compared to 14000 blockes by spamhaus over the same time period.

 
I use POPcon, It helps with dowloading your email, Also is a great spam filter and an antivirus scanner.

I can only show the door, your the one that has to open it !

1. Name: ‘DSBL’, Refer toURL: ‘ DNS list domain: ‘list.dsbl.org’

Matrixa - I can only show the dictionary, you're the one that has to open it and check your grammar for your signature.

Ha Ha Very funny. As long as the matrix exists, humans will never be free !
