What are RBL, MAPS, reverse DNS, DCC, etc.?
GROUP Technologies AGThe Realtime Blackhole List (RBL) is a blacklist on the Internet, made available under the umbrella of the Mail Abuse Prevention Systems (MAPS). It lists unprotected mail servers that are used by spammers for sending unsolicited mail. Mail servers using the RBL can deny communications with the listed systems. Because spammers are making increasing use of open client systems with changing IP addresses, the effectiveness of RBL has seen a sharp decline recently.
Should I use MAPS RBL or other blacklists?
Process Software - PMDF Technical Support - FAQsRBL (Real Time Blackhole List) is part of the Mail Abuse Prevention System (MAPS) organization, and can be found at http://mail-abuse.org/rbl/. A subscription to RBL can reduce Spam because it verifies the DNS address of a sender. If the DNS address cannot be verified, the e-mail will not be delivered. Often Spammers use forged e-mail addresses from non-existent domains. Warning: Performing DNS checks may result in the rejection of some valid messages.
