I have been using the lists of known spam domains made available by AOL,
Concordia and Panix (via their web sites) for some time now but I almost
never get a hit from one of these. Almost all my spam is caught by a few
local recipes. Since having procmail check all these domains adds time to the
processing I am thinking of turning these tests off. Before I do I just
wanted to find out if the procmail tests of others are actually seeing a lot
of spam from the commonly known domains or have most spammers simply moved on
from these and testing for them is now simply a waste of cycles.
A lot depends on the order you have your filters set up in. If you have
your local rules first, they are killing before it gets to the domains
filters. I have mine set that way, but still see some domain kills.
I did a test and found that I could kill almost 99% of my kills with
three rules, X-UIDL, X-Advertisment and 8 digit numeric addresses

Just because MS-Windows holds 90% of the market doesn't mean it's
superior. Remember 90% of all animal's are insects.
