Spamcop good or bad?

General Discussion

Is anybody using maps_rbl_domains = bl.spamcop.net

Has it gotten better at not having false positives?

Also at the spamcop site they list recipient restrictions of:

smtpd_recipient_restrictions =
reject_invalid_hostname,
reject_non_fqdn_sender,
reject_non_fqdn_recipient,
reject_unknown_sender_domain,
reject_unknown_recipient_domain,
reject_unauth_pipelining,
permit_mynetworks,
reject_unauth_destination,
reject_maps_rbl,
permit

My restrictins right now are only:

smtpd_recipient_restrictions =
permit_mynetworks,
permit_sasl_authenticated
reject_unauth_destination,
permit

Would it be better if mine was more like the sample to reject non FQDN, piplining etc or can I block ham that way?

I would suggest merely cranking up the value of RBLs in spamassassin, if you want to use RBLs more heavily. The on/off nature of using them directly in Postfix makes them too likely to have false positives.

If you make RBL worth, say, 3 points in SpamAssassin, it takes only a little bit more "spamminess" to push them over the top (where "top" is defined as the default 5 for the sake of this example).

Thanks Joe!

Would that be in:
Webmin/Spamassassin module/Spam Classification
Number of Received: headers to check with RBL Default (2)

And I would enter a higher number?
