ORDB was still enabled in Sunbelt.

What do you recommend we use instead?

Kathleen,

ExchangeDefender.com, duh!

Blind connection filtering is just horrible, in my opinion. Anything that outright rejects mail without the 100% certainty and local delisting control is not a filtering mechanism. Might as well just shut off the mail server for 4 hours a day.

If you must, SpamHaus makes great lists. XBL and PBL2 are great. However, they are not free, so if you do use it and have more than a handful of users they will stop serving you. SpamCop is another.

Both well worth the $500 or so a year.

I obviously have a bias towards ExchangeDefender-like content protection networks but I realize solutions like that are not in everyones budget.

Should have checked the blog sooner. Had several clients complain of bouncebacks from mail servers using that service. Certainly helpd resolve it quickly.
