Most of the IP addresss you listed are are already on various DNS

Ooh, now that is interesting. I had assumed that the DNSBLs only covered SMTP spam sources, but on reflection I suppose SMTP is a dead protocol these days in the wider Internet.


For the benefit of those of us who have been lucky to Recover from ISP work and now herd blogs[0], would you be so kind as to share which blacklists are worthwhile and worth consulting on this front?


[0] Before you ask, no, it's no easier, in fact arguably harder work, although the pay and hours are better. But yes, we're hiring.
