Stay away from orbs.dorkslayers.com and relays.osirusoft.com, because
they are long gone.

On the topic of long gone -- on one of the servers which processes a lot of user mail and has had a couple of instances of DNSBLs going off the air and listing the IPv4 universe as a way to stop lookups, as well as a few DNSBLs which have had lookup timing issues, we've got a job that runs in the daily security lookup that reports timing on a sample lookup in each of the DNSBLs found in the current mail configuration (a change of the mail config will automatically result in the script reflecting the new dnsbl list). It is an easy way to stay on top of which DNSBLs you use are actually working.

He also checks spamvertized hosts (from URLs).

SA3 uses a dnsbl that contains spamvertised hosts. I was quite annoyed with some turd on this very list because they were bouncing messages because the message referred to a domain which was causing trouble (0spam).
