Just FYI...  We've started using the Spamhaus SBL (known spammers) and XBL
(known exploited machines) block lists to reject SMTP connections.  We
rejected 1336 connections in the last 24 hours.  My personal spam count
dropped down to only 9 getting through the filters and into my inbox (vs
30 or more) and only 86 spams total reached my account... when I normally
get around 300.  This has greatly decreased the load on our server caused
by processing spam.  (There have been times in the past that spam to the
Fudge List comes in faster than we can process it (it uses a beta-test
sequential processor), creating a backlog.)

_BUT_... that means if your mail gets rejected by the block-list filter,
there's no way for you to send mail to anyone at the Phoenyx until your
site is removed from Spamhaus's list.

When I get a chance, I'll set up a form on our web page to allow users
with a problem to send us a message and put the address in the rejection
message.  For now, they're just directed to spamhaus.org where they can
request to be removed from the list.
