What Is A Realtime Blackhole List or RBL?
EFX internet utilizes several Realtime Blackhole Lists (RBLs) to block
the proliferation of SPAM. In practice, RBL usage effectively
blocks 96% of the SPAM that hits our server and is an invaluable tool
for providing clean inboxes for our clients. On average, 60,000
spam messages per month are blocked. RBLs are not perfect though,
and occasionally a legitimate email is blocked. This block is
implemented by the mail server utilizing the list (not the list
provider).

The SpamCop Blocking List (SCBL)
lists IP addresses which have transmitted reported email to SpamCop
users. SpamCop, service providers and individual users then use
the SCBL to block and filter unwanted email. The SCBL is
a fast and automatic list of sites sending reported mail, fueled
by a number of sources, including automated reports and SpamCop
user submissions. The SCBL is time-based, resulting in quick
and automatic delisting of these sites when reports stop.
