what are others thoughts of the effectiveness of SURBL , risks of false positives, CPU usage, etc
I'm currently doing my spam checking in this order
sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org - reject at SMTP level standard greylisting SURBL - using multi.surbl.org
How are you guys doing it and do you have any suggestions ? Low false positives are my goal in my setup. I wondered if surbl should replace greylisting or RBL or should just complement.
thank you Paul

Hi Paul, sbl-xbl at the MTA plus SURBL use should be an effective combination. It's what I've been recommending to other folks. Preventing spams from even entering your network using spamhaus is quite safe, fast and smart.
