I've been hacking recently on a spam filter in perl, based on the system I
use myself. Pre-alpha code at http://spamassassin.taint.org/ .
The spammers seem to be moving too quickly for the RBL nowadays. Out of
517 messages I've been spammed with since the start of the year, only 7
were in the RBL; that's 1.3%.
The open-relays list is a bit more successful, at 37% of spams hitting
that rule. But it's more prone to friendly fire.
Mind you, I've been using rbl.maps.vix.com, and I've just noticed that
the current MAPS RBL seems to live at blackholes.mail-abuse.org. Maybe
the maps.vix.com zone is no longer updated, in which case I should go
stick my head in a brown bag.
