Good Spam-Blacklist?

Post by patrikG »

Does anyone know a good spam blacklist?

After about the 50th email from "Microsoft Security Update" that the latest virus/worm created, I actually want to personally force the guy who wrote this sh*** it to drink 12 mugs of tea with rice milk and three ounces of salt each.

Since I can't do that: does anyone know a good blacklist somewhere?

I have, (where I admin win32 computers without any gateways) a combination of SpamInspector & Norton Antivirus. Norton offers liveupdate, and SpamI. has something similiar + interactive learning (blocking *@hotmail.com as example).

It helps alot, and IMHO I think it's pretty safe, but that might depend on the users state of mind (DO I really want to click that .scr?). Spamguard, a good updated virii software and common sence usually keeps your computer clean.

Other cases means blocking ports in my routers, using centralized files for spam/virii etc., using spamassasin or it's like software, using non-win32 os's, but that generally fits our 14 server and 5k clients setup...

Well, I am running SpamAssassin, but was wondering if anyone had a good place for spam-blacklists to add to the SpamAssassin-filtering.

A service that takes the opposite perspective on things: http://www.knowspam.com... probably the best way to go if spam is really a big problem for you.
