Re: spamd & exiscan

I do block most of the spam using the following lists:
dnslists = rbl-plus.mail-abuse.ja.net : \
                 sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org : \
                 list.dsbl.org : \
                 web.dnsbl.sorbs.net : \
                 zombie.dnsbl.sorbs.net : \
                 nomail.rhsbl.sorbs.net : \
                 combined.njabl.org

So I suppose -L option is worth trying.

Regarding the number of mails, around 40,000 blocked on a good day and 
it handles another 50,000 per day (half of that is internal and ignored 
by spamassassin).
