i use the sbl-xbl blocklist from spamhaus on my mailserver with great
effect.  for the sendmailers out there, put this in your .mc:

dnl sbl-xbl from spamhaus
FEATURE(`dnsbl', `sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org',
	`"571 ACCESS DENIED to <"$&f"> thru "$&{client_name}"
	by /spamhaus/ ;Please see http://www.spamhaus.org/sbl/'")dnl

and rebuild your sendmail.cf

... i'm not the only person that still uses sendmail, am i?  :]
